Explanation

The Aravalli Range is the oldest mountain range in India, dating back approximately 350 million years to the Precambrian era. It runs across Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat, and has been significantly eroded over geological time. The Himalayas are relatively young (50 million years), while Nilgiris and Vindhyas are also much younger than the Aravallis.
