Explanation
All four rivers mentioned are west-flowing rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea:
- Sharavathi: Originates in the Shimoga district of Karnataka and is well-known for the Jog Falls.
- Periyar: The longest river in Kerala, it originates in the Sivagiri Hills of the Western Ghats and flows westwards.
- Mandovi: Known as the lifeline of Goa, it originates in the Western Ghats (Bhimgad, Karnataka) and flows west into the Arabian Sea at Panaji.
- Daman Ganga: Originates in the Sahyadri hills (Western Ghats) in Maharashtra and flows west through Gujarat and the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.
Most west-flowing rivers of the Peninsular plateau are small and originate in the Western Ghats, flowing through steep gradients into the Arabian Sea.
