April 4, 1905. Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, magnitude 8.6, 19,000 dead. (reference #1002)

April 4, 1905, India: Kangra, magnitude 8.6. 19,000 deaths. Epicentral area, including Kangra, on Tertiary rocks in the Himalaya foothills. (reference #1003)

April 4, 1905. Kangra. The earliest large Indian earthquake for which a well documented instrumental magnitude (8.62) can be assigned. This was a great disaster; the loss of life is stated as 19,000. Instrumental data are not adequate to fix the epicenter. The meizoseismal area, including Kangra, was on the Tertiary rocks of the foothills of the Himalaya. An isolated area of high intensity, lower than that at Kangra but not approached elsewhere, included Dehra Dun, also in the foothills; this was separated from the Kangra meizoseismal area by about 100 miles. The available evidence does not support the idea of two separate earthquakes; it is more likely that there was a great linear extent of faulting. (reference #1006)

April 14, 1905-Mag. 8, Epicentre 33 N, 76 E. Kangra. Felt over an area 1,625,000 sq. miles. 20,000 lives lost. Kangra, Dharamshala and neighbouring places completely ruined. Origin attributed by C. S. Middlemiss to movement along one of the reversed Himalayan faults, at considerable depth. (reference #1095)

April 4, 1905, 33 N, 76 E, magnitude 8. Felt over an area of 1,625,000 sq miles. 20,000 lives lost. Kangra, Dharausala and neighbouring places completely ruined. Origin attributed by C.S. Middlemiss to movement along one of Himalayan reversed faults. (reference #1100)

April 4, 1905, 00:50 UTC, 33 N, 76 E, magnitude 8.6, depth 25 km. Catastrophic earthquake in which a large number of people were killed in the region between Kangra and Dera Dun. The loss of life is stated as 19,000. The shock was felt with an intensity VII at Chamba, Patankot, Lahore, Nagan, Bajaura, Bilaspur and Kasauli. At Tir, Dera Dun and Saharanpur, VIII. The shock was felt in Quetta, with a radius of perceptibility of more than 1,200 km. Probable faulting extending from Kangra to Dera Dun. (reference #1101)
