1. Bigha

2. Foot and Square Feet

Definition of Bigha

A bigha is a traditional unit used in India to measure agricultural land or large plots, especially in villages and rural areas.

Unlike units like acre or square feet, the size of a bigha is not the same everywhere. It changes from state to state.

• In many parts of North India, 1 bigha is roughly around 27,000 square feet (approximately).

• In some states it may be smaller or larger.

Bigha is widely used in following states along with its respective conversions:

• Haryana- 1 Bigha = 3025 square yards

• Uttar Pradesh- 1 Bigha = 2500- 3025 square yards

• Punjab- 1 Bigha = 3025 square yards

• Rajasthan- 1 Bigha = 1600- 3025 square yards

• Bihar- 1 Bigha = 3025 square yards

• West Bengal- 1 Bigha = 1600 square yards

Bigha is commonly used in following:

• Agricultural land

• Villages and rural areas

• Buying and selling of village land

• Farmhouse land

Real Life Examples for Bigha Measurement

1. Village Land Transactions

Land in villages is often bought or sold in bigha instead of acres or square feet.

2. Farmhouse Development

Someone may buy 2–3 bigha of land to build a farmhouse with a garden and open area.

3. Land Division in Families

In rural families, land is often divided among children in bigha.

4. Crop Production

Farmers estimate crop production based on bigha.

Example: One bigha of wheat field can produce several quintals of wheat.

Definition of Foot

A foot is a basic unit used to measure length or breadth or height of any article or thing or property.

1 foot = 12 inches = 0.3048 meters

Here are some real-life illustrations where foot is used:

1. Human Height: 5 ft 6 inches

2. Real Estate

• Ceiling height: Ceiling height is 10 ft

• Plot frontage: Plot has 30 ft front width

• Height of boundary wall: 8 ft wall

• Road width: 40 ft wide road

• Depth of foundation: 5 ft deep

3. Agriculture & Land

• Distance between plants: 2 ft gap

• Borewell depth: 150 ft deep

Definition of Square Feet

Square feet (sq ft) is a unit of area measurement used to calculate the size of a two-dimensional space such as a room, flat, plot, office, or land.

Square feet do not measure height.

Square feet is commonly used in following:

• Real estate property measurement

• Apartment and plot size

• Construction and interior planning

• Flooring and carpet installation

In India, square feet is widely used in property dealings under the guidelines of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).

Simple Formula for Calculation of Area

Length (in feet) × Width (in feet) = Area (sq ft)

15 feet (length) × 10 feet (width) = 150 feet × feet (Area) = 150 feet² or 150 sq ft

Important Area Conversion

• 1 Square Foot = 144 Square Inches

• 1 Square Meter = 10.764 Square Feet = 1550 square inches

• 1 Square Yard = 9 Square Feet = 1296 Square Inches

Imagine you draw a square that is 1 foot long and 1 foot wide.

That small square is called 1 square foot.

Real Life Examples for Square Feet Measurement

Example 1: Floor Tiles

Imagine your house has tiles that are 1 foot × 1 foot.

Each tile = 1 square foot.

Now suppose your room floor has 10 tiles in one row and 10 tiles in one column.

So total tiles = 10 × 10 = 100 tiles.

That means your room size is 100 square feet.

Example 2: Bed Space

A normal double bed roughly takes about 30–35 square feet. So if your bedroom is 120 square feet, you can fit:

• 1 double bed

• 1 cupboard

• Some walking space

Example 3: Room Space

If your room is 10 feet long and 10 feet wide, then room space would be:

10 ft × 10 ft = 100 square feet

That means your room has space of 100 small 1-foot squares.

Example 4: Flat Size

If someone says “Flat is 1,000 square feet”

It means the total floor space is equal to 1,000 small 1-foot tiles put together.

Quick Comparison Table

Difference Between Bigha and Square Feet

Conversion Formula of Bigha to Square Feet

First, understand the base values:

• 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft (assumed)

• 1 square feet = 0.000037 bigha (assumed)

From this relationship:

Square feet = Bigha × Local Bigha Value in Square Feet

If 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft

Then:

Square feet = Bigha × 27,000 square feet

2 Bigha = 2 × 27,000 sq ft = 54,000 sq ft
