What is Gaj?

Gaj, also known as gaz, is a traditional unit of area measurement commonly used in northern regions of India, such as Haryana, Delhi, and Punjab. One gaj is equivalent to 9 square feet or approximately 0.8361 square meters. Historically introduced during the Mughal era, gaj remains a prevalent unit in local land transactions and property dealings.

To convert square meters to gaj, multiply the area in square meters by 1.2. For example, to convert 71 square meters to gaj:

71 square meters × 1.2 = 85.2 gaj

This straightforward calculation ensures precise conversions between these two units.

Guntha - what unit is this?

A Guntha is a traditional unit of land measurement commonly used in India, particularly in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. It is defined as 1,089 square feet (101.17 square meters) and is often used in agriculture and real estate for measuring small plots of land. Since 40 Gunthas make up 1 acre, this unit provides a convenient way to subdivide larger land areas into smaller, manageable sections. While the metric system is becoming more prevalent, Guntha remains an important unit in regional land transactions and property records.
