Abstract: Abstract The Garhwal–Kumaun region (29°–31.5°N; 77°–81°E) in NW Himalaya lies in the Central Seismic Gap where the accumulated strain energy is sufficient for a future great earthquake. A broadband seismic network is continuously monitoring the seismic activity in this region and recorded a total of 3634 well located seismic events justified within the acceptable error bars (ERZ, ERH
