Depending on the definition, the range extends up to Gujarat in the west, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in the north, and Chhattisgarh in the east. The average elevation of the Vindhyas is also dependent on different sources. The word Vindhya is derived from the Sanskrit word ''vaindh'' (to obstruct) and is in reference to a mythological story.
