Peninsular India

Peninsular India refers to the large, triangular landmass in the southern part of India that extends into the Indian Ocean. Encompassing states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, it is characterized by a peninsular shape, surrounded by water on three sides—the Arabian Sea to the west, the Indian Ocean to the south, and the Bay of Bengal to the east. This region features diverse landscapes, including mountains, coastal plains, and plateaus, and is known for its rich cultural heritage, distinct climate, and significant economic activities like agriculture, industry, and tourism.
