People in Delhi and North India reported feeling tremors for several seconds. Some people said that they felt their buildings shaking and that furniture was moving. However, there have been no reports of any serious damage or injuries.

The NCS said that the earthquake was caused by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Nepal is located in a seismically active zone, and earthquakes are common in the country.
