Allah Bund is a fault running through Gujarat. Experts at the Indian Meteorological Department (imd) believe the 2001 Bhuj Earthquake is a reawakening of the Allah Bund fault.

The earliest recorded quake in Gujarat—in 1819, at 8 on the Richter scale—happened here. it is said to have flattened entire villages, including a monument called the Sindree Fort, and crushed 3,500 people. But most famously, it ripped the earth apart and created a 140-km-long scarp—an elevation of bunched-up soil—in the Little Rann of Kutch. Awestruck mortals dubbed it Allah Bund.
