The depth of the quake could not be determined, but is assumed to be shallow.The earthquake was felt over a large region.. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in India | State of Uttarakhand | Uttar Pradesh | HaryanaHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Strong magnitude 5.1 earthquake at unknown depth6 Oct 16:56 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 3 minutes.6 Oct 17:07: Now using data updates from EMSC6 Oct 17:09: Now using data updates from USGSUpdate Tue, 6 Oct 2026, 17:11Felt earthquake: 5.1 quake 49 km south of Joshimath, Chamoli, State of Uttarakhand, India, 18 minutes ago - 128 shake reports so farFelt earthquake: 5.1 quake 49 km south of Joshimath, Chamoli, State of Uttarakhand, India, 18 minutes agoNumerous people reported to have felt the quake. Attached is an updated map showing the shaking felt (and reported) by this earthquake.Update Tue, 6 Oct 2026, 17:09Magnitude 5.1 earthquake strikes near Joshimath, Chamoli district, State of Uttarakhand, IndiaAn earthquake of magnitude 5.1 occurred only 16 minutes ago 67 km northeast of Joshimath, India, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.The quake hit at a shallow depth of 25. km beneath the epicenter near Joshimath, Chamoli district, State of Uttarakhand, India, after midnight on Wednesday, October 7th, 2026, at 12:53 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.Our monitoring service identified a second report from India's National Center for Seismology (NCS) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.Weak shaking might have been felt in Joshimath (pop. 13,900) located 67 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt1148–148 km (92–92 mi)148 km (92 mi)II: Very weak shaking5836–361 km (23–225 mi)163 km (101 mi)III: Weak shaking5943–361 km (27–225 mi)140 km (87 mi)IV: Light shaking1836–271 km (22–169 mi)133 km (82 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (147 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 13 km2 (5 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 6 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Oct 6, 2026 10:23 pm (Kolkata)22 minutes ago - felt5.110 km0 km - This quakeBageshwar, 49 km S of Joshimath, Chamoli, State of Uttarakhand, IndiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 35.4 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.03 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 31.3 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.29 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.4 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 2.8 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 11.1 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 32.8 quakes per year (or 2.7 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 35.1 quakes per year (or 2.9 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeStrongest in 121 yearsThe earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of India in over 121 years. Earlier, the last quake of equal or greater strength near the present epicenter had been a magnitude 7.1 earthquake on Tuesday, Sep 26, 1905, at 01:25 am local time (Universal Time GMT +0) in 457 km (284 mi) distance to the west:Mag. 7.1 earthquake 27 km northwest of Rajgarh - Rajasthan, India - Sep 26, 1905 -The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 7.9.
