The hills are situated in the northern section of the Satpura Range.
[1] The Mahadeo Hills run east and west through Betul, Chhindwara, and Seoni districts, separating the basin of the Narmada River to the north from that of the Wainganga and Wardha rivers, tributaries of the Godavari, to the south.
The hills slope gently in the north, but drop steeply to the south[1] onto the Deccan Plateau.
It is believed that the Narmada River is a daughter of the destroyer god.
