How land is measured in Gujarat
The Gujarat bigha — vigha — is 1,936 yd², or 17,424 ft², the square of the 132-foot Gantari jarib. Tables commonly round it to 17,427 ft², which is three square feet of drift on every bigha. Guntha is used alongside it in the south-eastern districts, and land is listed in gaj — square yards — in the cities.
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.
