About Marlas
A marla is a traditional unit of land area used in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, equal to 30.25 square yards (approximately 25.29 m²) - effectively the same as one square rod. In Pakistan's land registry system, 20 marlas equal one kanal and 8 kanals equal one acre. Despite metrification, marla remains the dominant unit for measuring residential plots and urban land in Pakistan. Property listings in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad routinely quote plot sizes in marlas, making it essential knowledge for anyone dealing with South Asian real estate.
About Square Yards
A square yard (yd²) is an imperial unit of area equal to a square with sides of one yard (3 ft × 3 ft or 9 ft²). It is commonly used for measuring carpet, fabric, and concrete in construction projects. A queen-size mattress covers about 5 yd², and a typical driveway might require 30-50 yd² of concrete. This unit is particularly common in the textile, carpeting, and landscaping industries in imperial-system countries.
