Index map. Epicenters of the main shock and the largest aftershock are indicated by red and orange stars. The focal mechanism of the main shock is shown in the map. Small yellow and green stars denote aftershocks within 6 h after the main shock and largest aftershock, respectively. We locate the source fault of the earthquake as shown by the blue rectangle. Areas outlined in magenta indicate the assumed source region of the 1505 earthquake (Bilham and Ambraseys 2005), with the eastern extent determined by Bollinger et al. (2014) and the zones of VIII or greater intensities for the 1833 and 1934 earthquakes (Bollinger et al. 2014; Sapkota et al. 2013). The epicenter of the 1934 earthquake is indicated by the magenta star (Sapkota et al. 2013). Red curves with triangles represent the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). The upper-right inset shows the cross-sectional profile along the sky blue line including the MFT and the schematic Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) (light brown line; Bollinger et al. 2014). Background color indicates altitude
