Various body dimensions would reach their adult size at specific times during the growth period. On subjecting the growth data of several body dimensions to the percentage of growth attained during adolescence, it has been observed that differentiation of growth can be deciphered and growth gradients can be surmised. Twenty-three body dimensions are taken up for the stu dy among Bhil boys of Rajasthan from 11+ years to 19+ years to understand the growth differentiation and gradients. The Present series of cross sectional growth data from Bhil boys of Rajasthan seem to be possible to differentiate and group growth character and establish such growth gradients, as cephalo-facial, linear, transverse and girth measurements respectively
