Write any three characteristic features of the Peninsular rivers?

Where does river Narmada originate? Name any two picturesque locations formed by it. 

Answer: The Narmada rises in the Amarkantak hills in Madhya Pradesh. It flows towards the west in a rift valley formed due to faulting.

The ‘Marble rocks’, near Jabalpur where the Narmada flows through a deep gorge, and the ‘Dhuadhar falls’ where the river plunges over steep rocks, are some of picturesque locations.
