How land is measured in Bihar
Bihar measures in the pucca bigha of 3,025 yd², laid out with the 165-foot Shahjahani jarib and divided into 20 katha, each katha into 20 dhur. Published tables often round the bigha to 27,220 ft²; the chain it comes from gives exactly 27,225 ft², which is the figure used here and the one that keeps katha and dhur whole.
Every factor on this page is an exact fraction of an acre or of the surveyor's chain the unit was defined by, not a rounded decimal copied from a table — so the sub-units divide their parent unit evenly, which is the check that catches a wrong figure. Local usage can still differ by district, and a land record is the authority over any converter.
