The following is a partial list of everyday units used to calculate land area in Nepal.
- 1 Bigha (बिघा) = 20 Kattha (कठ्ठा)
- 1 Bigha (बिघा) = 6772.63 m²
- 1 Bigha (बिघा) = 72900 sq.ft.
- 1 Bigha (बिघा) = 13.31 Ropani
- 1 Katha (कठ्ठा) = 20 Dhur (धुर)
- 1 Katha (कठ्ठा) = 338.63 m²
- 1 Katha (कठ्ठा) = 3645 sq.ft.
- 1 Dhur (धुर) = 16.93 m²
- 1 Dhur (धुर) = 182.25 sq.ft.
- 1 Ropani (रोपनी)= 16 aana (आना)
- 1 Ropani (रोपनी)= 64 Paisa (पैसा)
- 1 Ropani (रोपनी)= 508.72 m²
- 1 Ropani (रोपनी)= 5476 sq.ft.
- 1 Ropani (रोपनी)= 256 Daam (दाम)
- 1 Ropani = 4 llka
- 1 Khetmuri = 25 Ropani
- 1 Aana (आना)= 4 Paisa (पैसा)
- 1 Aana (आना)= 31.80 m²
- 1 Aana (आना) = 342.25 sq. ft.
- 1 Aana (आना) = 16 Daam (दाम)
- 1 Paisa (पैसा) = 4 Daam (दाम)
- 1 Paisa (पैसा) = 7.95 m²
- 1 Paisa (पैसा) = 85.56 sq. ft.
- 1 Daam (दाम) = 1.99 m²
- 1 Daam (दाम) = 21.39 sq. ft.
Length[edit]
The kos (kosh, krosh, koss) is a very ancient measure of distance, measuring about 2.25 miles or 3.7 km.[3]
- 1 angul = approx. 0.75 inch
- 4 angul = 1 dharnugrah (bow grip) = 3 in
- 8 angul = 1 dhanurmushti (fist with thumb raised) = 6 in
- 12 angul = 1 vitastaa (span) = 9 in
- 2 vittaa (cubit) = 18 in
- 4 haath = 1 dand or dhanush (bow) = 6 ft
- 2000 dand = 1 kos or Gorut = 4000 yards or 2.25 miles
- 4 kosh = 1 yojan = 9 miles = 14.48 km
- 1 Haath = 1.5 ft.
