Red soil in India is quite fascinating and can be primarily found in the eastern and southern parts of the Deccan Plateau. It spans a large part of the country, covering states such as Tamil Nadu, parts of Karnataka, southeastern Maharashtra, eastern Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and the Chota Nagpur Plateau region, which includes Jharkhand, southern Bihar, and parts of West Bengal.
The red colour of this soil comes from iron that's been diffused through crystalline and metamorphic rocks. Fun fact: when hydrated, it can appear yellow!
