Eastern Ghats
The Eastern Ghats, Often Overlooked, Are Vital To South India’s Landscape And History. Fueled By The Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, And Kaveri Rivers, These Mountains Preserve Their Rich Indigenous Heritage And Rituals With Discontinuous Ranges.
A Hidden Gem of South India
The often overlooked Eastern Ghat are an important part of South India, both topographically and historically. They’re blessed by the energy of 4 rivers, Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri, that cut through them to create discontinuous mountain ranges. The discontinuity and low height, has enabled the preservation of their indigenous heritage and rituals.
Rivers and Ranges
They are home to lush paddy farms, orange groves, coffee farms and endangered wildlife. It is difficult to say why, but the Eastern Ghats are a serene abode of purity that is reflective, rather than exhibitive, such as the Western Ghats. Together, they make an ecosystem that the entire country relies on for their seasonal schedules of weather changes.
