Abstract
Shape of crania is seen by measuring cranial index in 150 (115 male and 35 female) crania. Crania were obtained
from the department of Anatomy, Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS Rohtak. In males, 91.07 % crania were found
dolichocephalic while in females 97.14% crania were dolichocephalic. Few crania were found mesocephalic
(6.25% in males and 2.85% in females) in both sexes. None of female crania was seen as brachycephalic.
Percentage obtained in present study is quite different from any other population studied as most of the crania
were dolichocephalic. So it can be used as a tool to identify crania of this region.
