Abstract
The facial index is length of the face from root of nose to the bottom of the chin, expressed as a percentage of the greatest breadth across the cheek bones. Racial differences are much more marked in relation to face than elsewhere, so it is very useful anthropologically. For this 100 males from Pushkarna Brahmin community between the age group of eighteen to thirty-five years were taken and their facial index was calculated.The result indicated that average facial index in Pushkarna Brahmin individuals was 95.86. Mostly they were hyperleptoprosopic. The average facial index of Pushkarna Brahmin individuals was not comparable to any other Indian groups studied so far. But it was very close to North European and Nigerian population.
