This paper presents the seismic data analysis and visualization using R programming for the state of Maharashtra, India. Maharashtra has witnessed a significant number of earthquakes ranging from low to high in magnitude. The past earthquake data of a particular location are useful to the civil and structural engineers for the safe and efficient planning, designing and construction of seismic resistant buildings in that locality. In this paper the past earthquake data of Maharashtra from the year 1912 to 2009 are collected and analyzed. There are 53 earthquake data with magnitudes ranging from 3.6 to 7.2. This analysis shows the relationship between magnitude and depth, intensity and PGA, visualization of classification of earthquakes depends on magnitude and intensity.
