In Rajasthan, One Pucca Bigha = 27,225 sq ft (i.e., 165 × 165 ft) and one Kaccha Bigha is equal to 1,618.7 square metres (17,424 sq ft). In Madhya Pradesh, one Katha = 600 square feet (56 m 2). In central India, bighas were standardized at 3025 yd 2(2529.3 m 2) or 5/8 acre (0.2529 hectare). In Punjab and Haryana, 2 bigha is equal to one acre, each bigha is 4 kanaals, each kanaal is 20 marlas, each marla is 9 square karam, each square karam is 30.25 sq ft (5.5 X 5.5 ft), each karam is 5.5 feet. 
In Himachal Pradesh, five bigha is equal to one acre (0.0809 hectare). Therefore, one lagga is 99 inches, or 251.46 cm. One lagga is equivalent to 5.5 hand lengths, with each hand length being 18 inches (460 mm). In some of eastern parts of the Bihar including Munger, Bhagalpur and Jamui, one dhur is further subdivided into one square lagga (pole length). 1 decimal in Bihar equals to 435.56 sq feet. One dhur is further subdivided in 20 dhurki, each dhurki being approximately 3.403 square feet (0.3161 m 2). Hence each dhur is approximately 68.05 square feet (6.322 m 2). One katha is further subdivided in 20 dhur. 1 Katha equating to 1,361 square feet (126.4 m 2). Near the capital, Patna, one bigha is equivalent to 20 katha. In Bihar, different regions have different sizes of bigha. 4 bighas together are further termed as a Pura. Hence each katha is 2,880 square feet (268 m 2) in area, although this may vary within different regions of Assam. Each katha consists of 20 Lessa with a Lessa covering 144 square feet (13.4 m 2) in area. In Assam, a bigha is 14,400 square feet (1,340 m 2), subdivided into 5 katha. It is usually less than one standard acre (43,560 square feet or 4,047 square metre) but can extend up to 3 acres (1.2 hectare). Various states and often regions within the same state have different sizes attributed to the bigha. Bigha varies in size from one part of India to another. However, the area is recorded in hectare or square metres in official land records. Sale and purchase of land (particularly agricultural land) is still done unofficially in this unit. The bigha is a traditional unit of land in several parts of North India. A bigha may have 5 to 200 biswa in different regions. Again there is no "standard" size of biswa or katha. Its sub-unit is Biswa (or Bisa) or Katha (or Katta) in many regions. Sources have given measurements ranging from 1,500 to 6,771 square metres (16,150 to 72,880 sq ft), but in several smaller pockets, it can be as high as 12,400 square metres (133,000 sq ft). The size of Bigha is different in different areas. 
The size of a bigha varies considerably from place to place. The bigha (also formerly beegah) is a traditional unit of measurement of area of a land, commonly used in India (including Uttarakhand, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan but not in southern states of India), Bangladesh and Nepal.
