Answer:

As our ancestors did not have the kind of standard scales of measurement that we do, they used different units such as the length of a foot, the width of a finger, and the distance of a step.

In ancient India, small length measurements such as an angul (finger) or a mutthi (fist) were also used.

Even today people in India sometimes use body parts as units of length when convenient. You must have seen garland sellers doing this.
