The Narmada River is one of the major rivers in India, flowing through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. It originates from the Amarkantak Plateau and travels approximately 1,312 kilometers before emptying into the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea. The river is known for its scenic beauty and is often referred to as the lifeline of the region. The Narmada is unique as it flows westward, unlike most Indian rivers that flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal. It is also famous for its numerous waterfalls, including the stunning Dhuandhar Falls. The river supports diverse ecosystems and is vital for irrigation, drinking water, and hydroelectric power generation in the surrounding areas.
