The standard database plays a vital role in handwritten character recognition. Performance of various algorithms and results obtained by researchers can be evaluated only by a benchmark database. In the field of Hindi handwritten research such database is not available. My paper is focuses on creation complete database of Hindi character and numerals. I have generated almost 100-200 samples of each character. The images are stored in JPEG format. The dimension of each character is 105X125 pixels.The size of one character is in between 12 to 25 KB. I have taken fix dimension of character to reduce the complexity for the beginners in testing their algorithms. I am sure that this database will be helpful to the future researchers.
