'''Bailadila Range''', is a mountain range rising in the [[Deccan Plateau]] about 200 km west of the [[Eastern Ghats]]. It has been named 'Bailadila' because it resembles the hump of an ox. It is located near [[Kirandul]] town in the [[Dantewada district]] of southern [[Chhattisgarh]], [[India]].<ref>[http://pubs.iied.org/pdfs/G00615.pdf Bailadila Hills, Dantewada district, Chhattisgarh]</ref><br />
