Guintha and Bigha:-
Although the standard measuring unit of agricultural land in India is hectares, though in villages you may find land area being measured and discussed in 'Guintha' or 'Bigha'. In many states of India 1 Acre = 40 Guinthas; 1 Guintha = 121 Sq.Yards = 101.17 Sq. Metres and 1 Guintha =33 Sq. Feet × 33 Sq. Feet = 1089 Sq. Feet.
Bigha is a traditional unit of measuring land in countries like India, Nepal, Bangladesh. Bigha is used as a land measuring unit in a number states of India including Uttarakhand , Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Gujarat, and Rajasthan but not in southern states of India. There is no standard size of bigha. The sizes of bigha varies considerably from place to place. Sources have given measurements ranging from 1500 to 6771 Sq. metres (16150 to 72880 Sq. feet), but in several smaller pockets, it can be as high as 12400 metres (1,33,000 Sq.feet). Its sub unit is 'Biswa' (or Bisa) or 'Katha' (or Katta) in many regions. Again there is no standard size of biswa or katha. A bigha may have 5 to 20 biswa in different regions. Sale and purchase of land (particularly agricultural land) is still done unofficially in this unit.
