descends from Sonmunda, then falls
over a cliff as ‘Kapildhara’ waterfall,
and meanders in the hills, flowing
through a tortuous course, crossing the
rocks and islands up to the ruined palace
of Ramnagar. Between Ramnagar and
Mandla (25 km.), further southeast the
course is comparatively straight. The
Banger river joins from the left after
which the river runs northwest in a
narrow loop towards Jabalpur. Beyond
this point up to its meeting the Arabian
Sea, the Narmada enters three narrow
valleys between the Vindhyan scarps in
the north and the Satpura range in the
south. The southern extension of the
valley is wider at most places. These
three valley sections are separated by the
closely approaching line of the scarps
and the Satpura hills.
