The Sahyadri Range is also known as the Western Ghats. These mountains run parallel to the western coast of India, stretching from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu. Option 1, Lesser Himalayas, is incorrect as it refers to a different mountain range located in the northern part of India. Option 2, Shivaliks, is also incorrect as it refers to a range of hills that lie at the foot of the Himalayas. Option 4, Eastern Ghats, is also incorrect as it refers to another mountain range located on the eastern coast of India. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Western Ghats, which is the other name for the Sahyadri Range.
