Article History

Harischandra Range, eastward-extending spur of the Western Ghats, in west-central India. The range lies between the Godavari and the Bhima rivers in the northwestern Deccan plateau. With an average elevation of about 2,000 feet (600 metres), its peaks decrease in elevation gradually to the southeast and comprise parts of Maharashtra state. The range is flat-topped, consisting of basaltic lava, and the slopes of the hills have weathered to form terraces corresponding to the direction of the lava flow. The range attains higher elevations in the west until it merges into the Western Ghats. The range is named for the Harischandragarh, its highest peak. Forests of hardwood including teak (covered with climbing vines) are found on the mountains’ slopes. The undergrowth consists of tangled masses of cane, bamboo, climbing vines, and ferns. Ahmadnagar is the chief city in the area.
