How It Works
Traditional Indian land units like bigha, katha, biswa and dhur mean different areas in different states β a bigha is 14,400 sq ft in West Bengal but 27,225 sq ft in UP. This converter anchors every unit to a single canonical base (the square foot) and lets you pick the exact regional variant, so you never silently get the wrong stateβs value.
- 1Pick your unit (and state for regional ones)Standard units (sq ft, gaj, sq m, acre, hectare) are the same everywhere. For bigha/katha/biswa/dhur you choose the labelled regional variant, each showing its exact sq-ft value.
- 2Conversion runs in your browserYour amount is multiplied by the chosen unitβs square-foot factor, then divided by the target unitβs factor. Everything is plain arithmetic β no server, no rounding surprises.
- 3See it in every common unit at onceA grid shows the same area in sq ft, gaj, sq m, acre, hectare, guntha, cent, marla, kanal and ground, formatted with Indian digit grouping (1,00,000).
Nothing is uploaded β all conversions happen on your device. For legal or registry purposes, verify regional unit values against your state revenue department.
