The non–ethnic measurements are more subjective, and the actual measurements like cephalic indices provide a metric recording of size, proportions of cranial features. Cephalic indices play a crucial role in comparison of cephalic morphometry between parents, offspring and siblings and provide information on inheritance pattern.  Material & Methods: The present study was performed on 100 participants of rural area of Lucknow region and anthropometric points were measured by using spreading, sliding calliper.  Result: The present study showed the head of most of the participants were mesocephalic.  Conclusion: In the present study most of the crania in both sexes were mesocephalic.
