⚠️ About bigha, katha and biswa: These traditional units are not standardised — their size changes from state to state and even district to district. A bigha can range from about 9,000 sq ft (Punjab) to over 27,000 sq ft (Bihar/UP). That's why this tool has a separate state-wise converter above: pick your state to get the locally-used value. For legal or transaction purposes, always confirm the exact local definition with your patwari, registrar or land-records office.
