What is the origin of the Narmada River?
नर्मदा नदी का उद्गम निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Amarkantak/अमरकंटक
Explanation
Why Amarkantak is correct?
- The Narmada River originates from Amarkantak Plateau in Madhya Pradesh.
- It flows westward into the Arabian Sea, which is rare among Indian rivers.
नर्मदा नदी का उद्गम अमरकंटक पठार (मध्य प्रदेश) से होता है।
यह भारत की उन कुछ नदियों में से है जो पश्चिम दिशा में बहती हैं और अरब सागर में गिरती हैं।
🌿 Extra Facts (अतिरिक्त तथ्य)
- Narmada is also called “Life Line of Madhya Pradesh”.👉 नर्मदा को मध्य प्रदेश की जीवन रेखा कहा जाता है।
- It flows between the Vindhya Range and Satpura Range.👉 यह विन्ध्य और सतपुड़ा पर्वतमालाओं के बीच बहती है।
- Important dam: Sardar Sarovar Dam👉 प्रमुख बाँध: सरदार सरोवर बाँध
❌ Why other options are wrong?
1. Satpura (सतपुड़ा)
- Narmada flows between Satpura and Vindhya, but does not originate here.👉 यह यहाँ से निकलती नहीं, बल्कि इसके पास से बहती है।
2. Brahmagiri (ब्रह्मगिरि)
- Source of Godavari River.👉 यह गोदावरी नदी का उद्गम है।
3. Western Ghats slope (पश्चिमी घाट)
- Many rivers originate here, but not Narmada.👉 नर्मदा यहाँ से नहीं निकलती।
Final Answer
👉 Amarkantak / अमरकंटक ✔️
