However, there were no reports of any loss of life or property in the state.

"I suddenly found my chair shaking. I live on 4th floor in an apartment on Sirsi road in Jaipur. I just rushed out of my building, shouting and requesting people not to use the lift," said Ravindra Kumar.

Another resident Manmohan of Raja Park area of the city said: "I was watching TV when suddenly everything started to shake. Initially I was confused then I realised that it was an earthquake and I came out of my building."

"I think it must have lasted for a minute," said Ashok S Dharma, a resident of walled city area in Jaipur.
