The shear-wave splitting parameters (i.e. fast axes orientation (ψ) and delay time (δt)) are measured at four broadband stations in Rajasthan, using SKS/SKKS core phases from three-component broadband waveforms of 30 events recorded during 2014–16. The thicknesses of lithosphere at these four stations are also inferred from the estimated delays. The average splitting parameters (ψ, δt) at the northern-most (JAI) and southern-most (BAN) stations are modeled to be 36.44° ± 08.36° and 1.48 ± 0.32 s, and 35.72° ± 10.47° and 1.86 ± 0.34 s, respectively. While these parameters at UDI and BUN stations are found to be 41.08° ± 08.54° and 1.61 ± 0.26 s, and 43.86° ± 08.96° and 1.68 ± 0.27 s, respectively. Thus, our modeling reveals a mean fast axes orientation of (39° ± 9°) with a mean delay of 1.7 ± 0.3 s, for Rajasthan, which could be attributed to the frozen lithospheric anisotropy in the direction of current absolute plate motion of the Indian plate. A slight regional variation of observed orientation of fast axes ranging from 35.7°(at BAN) to 43.9° (at BUN)could be attributed to the tectonic control rather than current plate motion. In addition, the mean orientations of fast axes are measured to be 36.4o at UDI and 41.1o at JAI, respectively. Thus, this observed coherent variation of fast axes orientation across the Rajasthan suggests a significant contribution from the asthenospheric flow. Further, estimated mean delay time (1.7 ± 0.3 s) does also suggest a contribution from the anisotropy associated with asthenospheric flows. The maximum delay (∼1.86 s) is estimated at southernmost BAN station, suggesting a thick anisotropic layer of ∼214 km, while minimum delay (∼1.48 s) is modeled at northernmost JAI station, suggesting a 170-km thick anisotropic layer. While asthenospheric layer thicknesses at UDI and BUN are found to be 185 and 193 km, respectively. This observation suggests a relatively more anisotropic and thick lithosphere in the south in comparison to that in the north. The measured deviation of fast axis orientation from the absolute Indian plate motion varies from 1 to 4.3°, which could be related to the changes in asthenosphric flow pattern due to the presence of topography at the base of lithosphere.
