Madhya Pradesh
Narmada River at Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, India.
The Chambal River serves as a natural northern boundary for Madhya Pradesh by flowing along the state's borders with its neighbors.1
Specifically, the river follows a northeast path along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. As it shifts toward an east-southeast direction, it continues to define a portion of the boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh before eventually flowing into Uttar Pradesh to join the Yamuna River.2
