How the conversion works

Square feet = bigha × your state’s bigha size. The converter also gives square metres and every other unit at once.

If your village uses a bigha that is not listed, choose “Custom bigha size” and enter it once; biswa and biswansi then follow as 1/20 and 1/400 of it.

For any other pair, use the full land area converter.
