The\u00a0geography of India\u00a0is extremely diverse, with landscape ranging from\u00a0snow-capped\u00a0mountain ranges to\u00a0deserts,\u00a0plains, hills and\u00a0plateaus.

It measures 3,214 km from north to south and 2,933 km from east to west. It has a land frontier of 15,200 km and a coastline of 7,516.6 km. The mainland of India is situated north of the equator and lies between 8\u00b04\u2032 and 37\u00b06\u2032 N latitude and 68\u00b07\u2032 and 97\u00b025\u2032 E longitude. The Tropic of Cancer 23\u00b030\u2032 N divides India into almost two halves. India shares its international borders with seven other countries &#8211; Pakistan on its West, Nepal, China and Bhutan on its Northeast, Myanmar and Bangladesh on its East and Sri Lanka on the South. The Line of Control (LoC) separates the borders of both India and Pakistan and McMahon Line divides India and China. The Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar separate India from Sri Lanka. India shares a long border with Bangladesh which touches the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh. It is one of the longest borders in the world. India&#8217;s borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh were delineated according to the Radcliffe Line, which was created in 1947 during partition of India.<\/p>\n<p>India is surrounded by three water bodies &#8211; Indian Ocean in the South, Bay of Bengal in the East and Arabian Sea in the West. These three sea meets in Kanyakumari which is in the state of Tamil Nadu. Indian Standard Time is ahead of Greenwich ($0^{\\circ}$ or Prime Meridian) Mean Time by 5 hours and 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25500782 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1.png\" alt=\"GK and current affairs\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1.png 345w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blog-banner1-1-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Division_of_Indian_Geography\"><\/span><strong>Division of Indian Geography<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Indian Geography is divided into two parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Political Geography<\/li>\n<li>Physical Geography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Political Geography<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>India is a land of\u00a029 states, 6 union territories and 1 national capital territory.

The rivers of India can be classified into four groups &#8211; Himalayan rivers,\u00a0Deccan rivers,\u00a0Coastal rivers, and\u00a0Rivers of the inland drainage basin.<\/p>\n<p>The Himalayan Rivers are formed by melting snow and glaciers and therefore, continuously flow throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>The Deccan Rivers on are rainfed. Most of these major river systems generally flow in east direction and fall into Bay of Bengal. The major east flowing rivers are Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, Mahanadi, etc. Narmada and Tapti are major West flowing rivers.<\/p>\n<p>The Coastal streams, especially on the west coast are short in length and have limited catchment areas. Most of them are non-perennial.\u00a0While only handful of such rivers drain into the sea near the delta of east cost, there are as many as 600 such rivers on the west coast.<\/p>\n<p>A few rivers in Rajasthan do not drain into the sea. They drain into salt lakes and get lost in sand with no outlet to sea. Besides these, there are the Desert Rivers which flow for some distance and are lost in the desert. These are Luni and others such as, Machhu, Rupen, Saraswati, Banas, Ghaggar and others.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the major rivers are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brahmaputra<\/strong> &#8211; \u00a0It is a trans-boundary river. It originates in Tibet and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh. It then passes through Assam and finally making its way through Bangladesh into the Bay of Bengal. The principal tributaries of Brahmaputra in India are the Subansiri, Jia Bhareli, Dhansiri, Puthimari, Pagladiya and the Manas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ganga (Ganges) <\/strong>&#8211; It is the longest river originating in India. It has several tributaries including the river Yamuna, which is the only water body near the national capital, New Delhi. It is also considered the most pious river in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yamuna<\/strong> &#8211; \u00a0It is the second-largest tributary\u00a0river\u00a0of the\u00a0Ganges\u00a0by discharge and the longest tributary in\u00a0India. It merges with the Ganges at\u00a0Triveni Sangam, Allahabad. It crosses the states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Delhi. It&#8217;s tributaries are Tons,\u00a0Chambal,\u00a0Sindh, the\u00a0Betwa, and\u00a0Ken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indus<\/strong> &#8211; It\u00a0is one of the great rivers of the world, rises near Mansarovar in Tibet and flows through India, and thereafter through Pakistan, and finally falls in the Arabian Sea near Karachi. Its important tributaries flowing in Indian Territory are the Sutlej (originating in Tibet), the Beas, the Ravi, the Chenab, and the Jhelum.<\/p>\n<p>Important lakes in the country include Chilka Lake, the country&#8217;s largest salt-water lake in Orissa; Kolleru Lake in Andhra Pradesh; Loktak Lake in Manipur, Dal Lake in Kashmir, Sambhar Lake in Rajasthan, and the Sasthamkotta Lake in Kerala.<\/p>\n<p>There are four coral reefs in India that are located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gulf of Mannar, Lakshadweep and Gulf of Kutch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Attempt Free Mock Tests for General Knowledge!
