About Bighas
A bigha is a traditional South Asian land area unit used across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with its size varying significantly by region. The standardised pucca bigha (common in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar) equals 3,025 square yards (approximately 2,529 m²). In West Bengal it is approximately 1,337 m², in Rajasthan around 1,618 m², and in Nepal over 6,773 m². Despite metrification, bigha remains the dominant land measurement in rural India. When dealing with legal or property matters, always verify the local definition, as regional variants differ substantially.
About Square Furlongs
A square furlong is an area unit equal to a square with sides of one furlong (220 yards or ~201.17 m), approximately 40,469 m² or exactly 10 acres. The furlong (from Old English 'furrow-long') was historically the standard ploughing distance, and 10 square furlongs equals one acre - a relationship that made traditional land surveying convenient. While square furlongs are rarely used in official modern measurements, they appear in historical land surveys, British horse racing contexts, and as a handy reference for visualising 10-acre blocks.
