About Square Meters
A square meter (m²) is the SI derived unit of area, equal to the area of a square with sides of one meter. It is the standard worldwide for measuring room sizes, apartments, houses, and land plots. A king-size bed occupies about 4 m², a parking space is roughly 12-15 m², and a small apartment might be 50-60 m². This unit is fundamental in real estate, construction, architecture, and interior design globally.
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.
