Instant Live Calculation
The Bigha is a traditional unit of land measurement used across Northern, Eastern, and Central India. Unlike global metrics (like Acres or Hectares), the Bigha has no accepted national standard size.
Because it predates modern standardization, the square footage of a Bigha expands or shrinks depending on the specific state, and sometimes even the specific district, you are transacting in.
The mathematical conversion formula is straightforward:
Square Feet = Bigha_Value x Conversion_Factor
For example, if you own 2.5 Bighas in Uttar Pradesh (Pucca Bigha):
2.5 x 27,225 = 68,062.5 Square Feet
| State / Region | Bigha Type | Square Feet Value |
|---|---|---|
| Uttar Pradesh, Bihar | Pucca Bigha | 27,225 |
| Uttar Pradesh, Bihar | Kaccha Bigha | 9,075 (1/3rd of Pucca) |
| West Bengal, Assam | Standard | 14,400 |
| Gujarat | Local | ~17,424 |
| Himachal Pradesh | Hill Bigha | 8,712 |
| Madhya Pradesh | Standard | 12,000 |
