In this paper, we elucidated deformational and kinematic characteristics of the NW-SE trending Vigodi Fault (VF) and its associated subsidiary faults in the western Kachchh basin. We applied paleostress inversion technique to understand the past stress regime from the acquired fault slip data. The subsidiary faults strike NW-SE and NE-SW and slickensided surfaces are well developed on the Fault planes. We present slip analysis and changes in the stress reorientation using the plane solutions to identify the principal stress axis (σ1) position regionally. To obtain Pressure Tension and Null axis (PBT), stress ratio, and principal (σ1) axis we used the right Dihedron Method using the Win-Tensor and T-Tecto software's respectively. Geomorphologically, the VF zone comprises of bedrock strath terraces towards the upthrown block and fill terraces on the downthrown block of the fault. Development of fault scarps, warped Quaternary sediments, slit canyons within Quaternary sediments, river nick-points, and deflected rivers are the major striking features observed along the strike length of the Vigodi Fault. The analyses indicate that NE-SW compressional stress dominates the regional area and the local area is affected by transpressional stress exhibiting oblique slip motion. The combined observations made from the present investigation can be used to estimate seismic hazard and mitigation planning of the study area.

在本文中，我们阐明了西 Kachchh 盆地 NW-SE 向 Vigodi 断层 (VF) 及其相关附属断层的变形和运动学特征。我们应用古应力反演技术从获得的断层滑动数据中了解过去的应力状态。辅助断层走向 NW-SE 和 NE-SW，断层平面上的光滑面发育良好。我们使用平面解来呈现滑移分析和应力重新定向的变化，以在区域内识别主应力轴 (σ1) 位置。为了获得压力张力和空轴 (PBT)、应力比和主 (σ1) 轴，我们分别使用 Win-Tensor 和 T-Tecto 软件使用了正确的二面体方法。地貌上，VF 带包括朝向上抛块的基岩地层阶地和断层下抛块上的填充阶地。断层陡坎的发育、第四纪沉积物的翘曲、第四纪沉积物中的狭缝峡谷、河流缺口和偏转河流是沿维戈迪断层走向长度观察到的主要显着特征。分析表明，NE-SW 压应力在区域内占主导地位，而局部区域受压应力影响，表现出斜滑移运动。本次调查的综合观测结果可用于估计研究区的地震灾害和减灾规划。和偏转的河流是沿维戈迪断层走向长度观察到的主要显着特征。分析表明，NE-SW 压应力在区域内占主导地位，而局部区域受压应力影响，表现出斜滑移运动。本次调查的综合观测结果可用于估计研究区的地震灾害和减灾规划。和偏转的河流是沿维戈迪断层走向长度观察到的主要显着特征。分析表明，NE-SW 压应力在区域内占主导地位，而局部区域受压应力影响，表现出斜滑移运动。本次调查的综合观测结果可用于估计研究区的地震灾害和减灾规划。
