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.
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.
