Abstract

The present cross-sectional study in Kurseong of Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India was conducted among adult Nepali-speaking Hindu females, aged 18 to 46 years. The aim of the study was to find out the cephalic and facial index of adult Nepali females. All measurements were taken using standard techniques. The mean age was 35.56 (SD 8.56) years. It was observed that the Mesocephal form was the dominant head type and the Mesoprosop was the dominant face type among the studied population.
