Units explained
Bigha (Assam)
An Assam bigha is a traditional unit of land area used in Assam and parts of Northeast India, equal to approximately 1337.8 m² (functionally identical to the Bengal bigha).
Derived from the same colonial Bengali standardization that produced the Bengal bigha. Assam land records share much of Bengal's traditional unit system.
Assam bighas are used in property transactions and agricultural records across Assam and several other Northeast states. The unit equals 14,400 sq ft.
Standardized in colonial Bengal/Northeast India administration.
Bigha (West Bengal)
A Bengal bigha is a traditional unit of land area used in West Bengal and Bangladesh, equal to approximately 1337.8 m² (about 0.33 acre).
Originated in pre-colonial Bengal land measurement. The Bengal bigha became standardized under British administration as 14,400 square feet, which equals 1337.8 m².
Bengal bighas are the standard unit in rural property transactions in West Bengal, Tripura, and Bangladesh. Land records use bigha alongside katha (1/20 bigha) and chatak (1/16 katha).
Standardized in colonial Bengal; widely used in modern West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Real-world example — Road-sign distances across systems
A 100-bigha (assam) road sign converts cleanly into bighas — exactly the conversion drivers planning trips abroad rely on when reading road signs in a different measurement system.
100 bigha × 1 = 100 bigha
Real-world example — Endurance race distances
A 50-bigha (assam) cycling or running race converts to a recognizable distance in bighas. Endurance athletes coming from a different measurement system use this conversion to compare training plans across regions.
50 bigha × 1 = 50 bigha
Real-world example — Maritime exclusion zone
A 200-bigha (assam) exclusion zone (a common maritime boundary) converts to a different value in bighas that's useful when describing the same zone in everyday land-distance units.
200 bigha × 1 = 200 bigha
