Anthropometry is the branch of anthropology which refers to taking quantitative measurements of human body. Human body measurements convey a lot of information about an individual?s physical status, shape, size, physique and body composition. Ayurvedic literature furnishes detailed description on measurements of body and its elements. ?c?rya has devised suitable methods for measurements of human body and contents of body. In Ayurveda classics Pram??a ??r?ra is the term given to this subdivision which depicts the importance of measurements or anthropometry. A?jali pram??a and A?gula pram??a were used to measure body and its contents. ?c?rya Su?ruta has described pram??a ??r?ra in context of ?tura par?k?? or examination of the patient and described measurements of various body structures in terms of A?gula pram??a. A?gula Pram??a ??r?ra is the term given to that section which depicts the importance of anthropometry in contemporary sciences.
