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.
Kanal
A kanal is a unit of land area used in Punjab, Haryana, and Pakistani Punjab, equal to approximately 505.857 m² (1/8 of an acre or 605 square yards).
Defined as 1/8 of an acre during British colonial administration of Punjab. 8 kanals make 1 acre; 20 marlas make 1 kanal.
Kanals are the primary unit for residential property in Punjab (India and Pakistan), Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh. Property listings typically use kanal and marla units alongside square feet.
Standardized in colonial Punjab.
