Abstract
Many texts books on the Indian geology have described the physiography and tectonics of the western margin of the Indian Peninsula (Pascoe in Manual of the Geology of India and Burma. Geological Survey of India, Kolkata, pp. 483–1343, 1956; Wadia in Geology of India. Macmillan, London, pp. 460, 1978; Krishnan in Geology of India and Burma. CBS Publishers and Distributors, Delhi, pp. 53, 1982). However, spectacular character of these Sahyadri mountains was highlighted by Gunnell and Radhakrishna (Mem Geol Soc of India 47(1–2):1054, 2001) when it was pointed out these are no way less in their dimensions than the Himadri (=Himalayan) mountain chain due to their evolution during Cenozoic tectonics.
