Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to find the divine proportion in young attractive North Indian women.

Materials and methods

Thirty young unmarried women perceived to be attractive out of 100 subjects (18-26 years age group) representing North Indian population were selected by a panel of judges from different background. Divine proportions were evaluated in these women by using Ricketts RM (1982) Divine Proportion Analysis on frontal facial photographs.

Results and observations

The subjects in the group adhered to the golden proportions. The ‘t’ test was significant (t < 2.05) for facial height and width ratios.

Conclusion

Ratios in transverse and vertical dimension as well as soft tissue of attractive face affirm to the divine proportion.
