The Deccan traps occupy an area of nearly 500,000 sq.km,

which makes this formation the second most extensive geological

formation in Peninsular India, next only to the

Archean igneous and metamorphic complex. The traps occupy

large tracts in Saurashtra and Kutch in the west and

northwest, extending to Belgaum in the south, Sarguja and

Jashpur in the east and as far as Rajmahendri in the SE,

covering parts of the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya

Pradesh and Karnataka.
