The Indo-Gangetic Plain is divided into two drainage basins by the Delhi Ridge, which is a northern extension of the Aravalli Hills. The western part is drains by the Indus, and the eastern part consists of the Ganga–Brahmaputra river systems. [26] [27] The plains encompassed four distinct geographical regions: [23]
In the former seabed immediately south of the emerging Himalayas, plate movement created a vast trough, which, having gradually been filled with sediment borne by the Indus and its tributaries and the Ganges and its tributaries, [34] now forms the Indo-Gangetic Plain. [35] The Indo-Gangetic Plain is geologically known as a foredeep or foreland ...
The Ochre Coloured Pottery culture (OCP) is a Bronze Age culture of the Indo-Gangetic Plain "generally dated 2000–1500 BCE," [1] [2] extending from eastern Punjab to northeastern Rajasthan and western Uttar Pradesh. [3] [4] Artefacts of this culture show similarities with both the Late Harappan culture and the Vedic culture.

The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), located at the southwestern fringe of the state, is an alluvial plain composed of sediments eroded from the Himalayan rocks. [2] This area is an active depocenter that receives high sediment flux from the nearby major rivers.
The Indo-Gangetic Plains are generally thought of as a flat region with no variations, although this isn't true. The plains can be classified into four regions on the basis of relief features. The Bhabar is a belt of 8–16 km lying parallel to the slopes of the Sivaliks, where the river descending from the mountains deposit pebbles.
