		The Punjab Plain is centered in the land between five rivers: the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, and the Sutlej.
		The plain is a great alluvial crescent stretching from the Indus River system in Pakistan to the Punjab Plain (in both Pakistan and India) and the Haryana Plain to the delta of the Ganga (or Ganges) in Bangladesh (where it is called the Padma).

	Welcome to The High Commission of India
		From the Himalayas, one comes down into the Indo-Gangetic plain, then crosses over the Vindhyan mountains to enter the Deccan Peninsula, bounded by the Bay of Bengal to the south-east and the Arabian sea to the south-east, with the southern-most tip projecting into the Indian Ocean.
		Every geographical feature is present in India, from mountains to plains, deserts to seas, and so is a wide variety of flora, fauna and climates, from the tropical to the arctic.
		Other rivers at work in India, transforming the land, include the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri and the Pennar which created the deltas and flood-plains of India's east coast, and the Narmada, Tapti, Sharavati, Netravati, Bharatapuzha, Periyar and the Pamba which did the same for the west coast.

		The greater part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain is drained by the Ganges River, which rises in the southern Himalayas and flows in a generally south to southeast direction to the Bay of Bengal.
		The first major changes resulted from the development of giant canal irrigation projects, especially in the western Indo-Gangetic Plain and on the Indus Plain, which now is largely in Pakistan.
		The coastal plains flanking the Deccan are relatively narrow, ranging from 6 to 80 miles (10 to 130 kilometers).

		By another definition, the Indo-Gangetic Plain is divided into two drainage basins by the Delhi Ridge; the western part consists of the Punjab Plain and the Haryana Plain, and the eastern part consists of the Ganga-Brahmaputra drainage systems.
		This divide is only 300 meters above sea level, contributing to the perception that the Indo-Gangetic Plain appears to be continuous between the two drainage basins.
		The Punjab Plain is centered in the land between five rivers: the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, and the Sutlej.

	Journal of Essential Oil Research: JEOR: Essential oil composition of Artemisia vulgaris harvested at different growth periods under Indo-gangetic plain conditions
		Artemisia vulgaris was cultivated under subtropical Indo-gangetic plain conditions to determine the differences in the chemical composition of its essential oil produced from plants harvested at different growth periods using a combination of GC and GC/MS.
		The oil from the plant when grown under Indo-gangetic plain conditions was found to be rich in a number of compounds such as camphor, artemisia alcohol, isoborneol, thujone, 1,8-cineole, [beta]-caryophyllene and [beta]-eudesmol at different growth periods.
		However, the major compound in the leaf oil from plants harvested in early vegetative phase was isoborneol followed by camphor, but prior to budding, camphor became the main component followed by isoborneol, 1,8-cineole and artemisia alcohol.
