Bigha
The bigha or beegah (Persian: بیگھا, Hindi: बीघा, Bengali: বিঘা) is a traditional unit of measurement of area of a land, commonly used in northern & eastern India, Bangladesh and Nepal. There is no "standard" size of bigha and it varies considerably from place to place.
On an average, Bigha ranges from 6,806.25 square feet (632.321 m2) to 27,225 square feet (2,529.3 m2). Its sub-unit is Biswa or Katha in many regions, but it has no "standard" size. A bigha may have 5 to 20 Katha/ biswa in different regions, where 1 Katha is usually 1,361.25 square feet (126.464 m2) or 151.25 square yard.
A bigha may have 5 to 20 Katha or Biswa in different regions, where 1 Katha usually range between 1,089 square feet (101.2 m2) and 1,361.25 square feet (126.464 m2). In Assam and West Bengal Katha is 2,880 square feet (268 m2).
Commonly used size of Bigha in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand are as follows: (here 1 Katha/ Biswa is 1,361.25 sq feet)
Commonly used size of Bigha in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are as follows: (here, 1 Biswa is 1,089 sq feet)
The Bigha is a traditional unit of land in several parts of North & East India. Sale and purchase of land (particularly agricultural land) is still done unofficially in this unit. However, the area is recorded mostly in hectare or Acre and sometimes in square metre or square yard in official land records. Bigha varies in size from one part of India to another. Various states and often regions within the same state have different sizes attributed to the bigha. It is usually less than one acre or 43,560 square feet (4,047 m2) but can extend up to 3 acres in some areas.
In India, Bigha is commonly used in the states of Uttarakhand, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan. However, in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, Bigha is not in practical measurement unit.
In Assam, a bigha (বিঘা) is 14,400 square feet (1,340 m2) or 1,600 sq yard. One bigha is divided into 5 Katha. Each Katha (কঠা) consists of 20 Lessa (লেচা). Hence each Katha is 2,880 square feet (268 m2) in area, although this may vary within different regions of Assam. 4 bighas together are further termed as a Pura (পূৰা).
