Rajmahal Traps (RT) represents the earliest eruption from the Kerguelen hotspot activity over Indian Plate. The results of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) fabrics depict distribution anisotropy with the maximum susceptibility axes (Kmax) predominantly clustered NE-SW with plunge in NE. It infers that the feeder zone for RT was located in the NE quadrant of the volcanic province and along the Narmada-Son-Brahmaputra Transform (NSBT) fault. Our results further suggest that the NSBT system provide the major topographic control for the lava flow channel distribution in the Rajmahal province. It implies that the fracture zone was available during the lava emplacement, which records the earliest Kerguelen plume activity. Comparison between AMS fabrics and field topography suggests the distal horizontal magma flow and fissural mode in the absence of volcanic vent in the region, when the plume centre was located in the Comei-Cona region of Tibet.
