According to C.V.R Murthy of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur some Text available as follows
Basic Geography and Tectonic Features.
India lies at the NorthWestern end of the Indo-Australian Plate, which encompasses India, Australia, a major portion of the Indian Ocean and other smaller countries. This plate is colliding against the huge Eurasian Plate and going under the Eurasian Plate; this process of one tectonic plate getting under another is called subduction. A sea,Tethys , separated
these plates before they collided. Part of the lithosphere, the Earth’s Crust, is covered by oceans and the rest by the continents. The former can undergo subduction at great depths when it converges against another plate, but the latter is buoyant and so tends to remain close to the surface. When continents converge,large amounts of shortening and thickening takes place, like at the Himalayas and the Tibet.
Three chief tectonic sub-regions of India are the mighty Himalayas along the north, the plains of the Ganges and other rivers, and the peninsula. The Himalayas consist primarily of sediments accumulated over long geological time in the Tethys. The Indo- Gangetic basin with deep alluvium is a great depression caused by the load of the Himalayas on the continent. The peninsular part of the country consists of ancient rocks deformed in the past Himalayan-like collisions. Erosion has exposed the roots of the old mountains and removed most of the topography. The rocks are very hard, but are softened by weathering near the surface. Before the Himalayan collision, several tens of millions of years ago, lava flowed.
across the central part of peninsular India leaving layers of basalt rock. Coastal areas like Kachchh show marine deposits testifying to submergence under the sea millions of years ago.
Prominent Past Earthquakes in India A number of significant earthquakes occurred in and around India over the past century Some of these occurred in populated and urbanized areas and hence caused great damage. Many went unnoticed, as they occurred deep under the Earth’s surface or in relatively un-inhabited places. Some of the damaging and recent earthquakes are listed in Table 1. Most earthquakes occur along the Himalayan plate boundary (these are inter-plate earthquakes), but a number of earthquakes have also occurred in the peninsular region (these are intra-plate earthquakes.Four Great earthquakes (M>8) occurred in a span of 53 years from 1897 to 1950; the January 2001 Bhuj earthquake (M7.7) is almost as large. Each of these caused disasters, but also allowed us to learn about earthquakes and to advance earthquake engineering. For instance, 1819 Cutch Earthquake produced an
unprecedented ~ 3m high uplift of the ground over 100km (called Allah Bund ). The 1897 Assam Earthquake caused severe damage up to 500km radial distances; the type of damage sustained led to improvements in the intensity scale from I-X to I-XII. Extensive liquefaction of the ground took place over a length of 300km (called the Slump Belt ) during 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake in which many structures went afloat.
Where are the Seismic Zones in India?

Some Past Earthquakes in India
Date Event Time Magnitude Max. Intensity
29 Mar. 1999 Chamoli 12:35 6.6 VIII

Seismic Zones of India
The varying geology at different locations in the country implies that the likelihood of damaging earthquakes taking place at different locations is different. Thus, a seismic zone map is required to identify these regions. Based on the levels of intensities sustained during damaging past earthquakes, the 1970 version of the zone map subdivided India into five zones – I, II, III, IV and V (Figure 3). The maximum Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity of seismic shaking expected in these zones were V or less VI ,VII,VIII,and IX and higher, respectively. Parts of Himalayan boundary in the north and northeast, and the Kachchh area in the west were classified as zone V. The seismic zone maps are revised from time to time as more understanding is gained on the geology, the seismotectonics and the seismic activity in the country.
I shall now take up chart of The Time of Earthquake of Bhuj
Bhuj Earthquake Chart
Day is Friday and Lord is Venus Lord of the Earthy sign.
Yama Venus in the yama of Taurus sign an Earthy sign, showing activity relating to Earth and Venus with 8th Lord Mercury and aspected by Saturn degree aspect. Mercury 8th Lord is also aspected by Saturn in navamsha .

11. At the time of happening Aquarius sign rising along with Capricorn navamsha and Saturn aspecting the Lagna of Rashi and Navamsha chart.
12. Yoga was Vyatipata and Lord of the same is Rahu.
13.DBA Planets Mars-Sat-Rahu.
14.See the degree difference of Saturn, Moon, Mercury and Mars very close , before Saturn changed sign.
Let us now see the Chart of 5th May 2015 08-00 hrs.
1.Day is Tuesday and Mars the Lord of the Day is placed in the Lagna aspected by Saturn retrograde. Day Lord is Exhalted in navamsha also in Capricorn again in Earthy sign.
2. Day Lord Mars is placed in the yama of Taurus which is a Earthy sign and is afflicted badly.
3. Saturn is aspecting the Event Lagna and the Navamsha Lagna has Satun in Virgo again a Earthy sign.
4. Mars and Saturn were in 6/8 axis till 3rd May and now in 1/7 axis both Afflicting the Taurus Earthy Sign.
5.Tithi Prathma signifies Agni and in Sukla Paksha , The full Moon was on 4th May 2015.
6. Yoga is Variyan and Lord is Jupiter and the Earthy Rashi Capricorn is its Deblitation sign and is aspected by it .
7. Karna Kaulava and Lord is Mars is afflicting the Earthy signs in Rashi and Navamsha also .
8. All the 2,6, 10 Signs are afflicted . Taurus as explained above , Virgo has Rahu, Capricorn aspected by Jupiter its deblitation sign in Rashi chart and in navamsha Saturn in Virgo in Lagna and Mars in Capricorn and Rahu in Taurus.
9.Saturn Retrograde and very near the earth since 198 degrees from Sun and in 6/8 axis .
10. Moon Deblitated and afflicted by both Mars and Saturn and in navamsha by Exhalted Mars .
11. Moon and Mercury in 1/7 axis and Mercury also in Rohini Nakshatra and Moon about to go in Jyestha on the 6th May 2015 .
12. Mercury is afflcietd in the Rashi and Navamsha Chart , In the Rashi Chart as Lord of Virgo afflicted badly and also in the navamsha and placed in the 8th from Virgo sign.

14. See the degrees of Mars and Moon in opposition and with in 1 degrees aspect ,most malefic .
15. Direction will be as per the Himalaya Terrain in the North East Direction it is expected but as already mentioned by me in my earlier article it is a very difficult to exactly pinpoint the Longitude and Lattitude, but it so seems that Natural Disaster is on the cards.
16. Mars and Saturn connected to 8th Lord Jupiter . Mars was aspecting Jupiter till 3rd May 2015 and Jupiter aspects Moon and Saturn . Now Mars is also aspecting the 8th house by 8th aspect.
There are bound to be some untoward happenings Natural disaster,Cyclone, Tornado, Any other event damaging the Earth, Earthquake between 4th and 6th May 2015, but seems 5th More prone to calamity, along with a Period of 17th May to 20th May 2014 for the reasons explained in the next point.
17.Time Prone is after 8-41 hrs and then after 15-10 hrs on the 5th May 2015. Dates 15to 20th , since on 18th May 2015 Mars will enter Rohini nakshatra .
Similarly the analysis can be made for 15th May 2015 to 20th May specially when Mars ingresses in Rohini nakshatra on the 17th May and Mercury also becomes Retrograde on the 19th May 2015 will be most sensative as well and Crucial for an Earthquake and Natural calamities Earthquakes around the Northeastern Himalayas , India, Pakistan, China are also, where the effect can be experienced ..
The Chakras have been used in my previous article on the New Moon Kundali of the 4th May 2015 and shows affliction to the Ecliptical Point Pieces. Natural Disasters , Untoward happenings can surface along with Terrorist activities by neighboring countries on the dates mentioned .
God bless us all

Disclaimer: I have made predictions on the basis of astrology and comparasion with earlier happenings of earthquakes, and is just an indication and there should be no caos on this and the writter is not responsible for this in any circumstance what so ever
