How land is measured in Karnataka
Karnataka sits on the boundary between two systems: guntha in the northern districts, cent in the south, and ankanam of 72 ft² in the older Bengaluru and Mysuru city records. All three are exact fractions of an acre — a guntha a fortieth, a cent a hundredth, an ankanam a six-hundred-and-fifth — so each converts cleanly into acres, but not into the others.
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.
