Estimation of stature is of great help to solve the cases where identification of victim/s is difficult due to complete degradation of corpses. Stature is a matter of physical development of an individual of a particular community since physical development is dependent on culinary habits, economic activities and preferred lifestyle. Hence, Mahadev Koli population of India was studied for stature estimation from facial parameters. The study involved 500 individuals (250 females and 250 males) within the age range of 18-40 years from Mahadev koli population. Facial parameters such as facial width and facial height were measured using sliding calipers and stature was measured using measuring tape. The data was subjected to statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel 2010 and R software. The correlation obtained for facial width and facial height with respect to stature was positive and significant. Regression equations were obtained. The stature of the Mahadev koli population cannot be deduced from facial parameters.
