Formula
In Gujarat: 1 Vigha = 16 Guntha = 17,424 sq ft = 1,936 sq yards (Vaar)
1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft = 121 sq yards (Vaar)
1 Acre = 2.5 Vigha = 40 Guntha = 43,560 sq ft
1 Hectare = 2.471 Acres = 6.1775 Vigha = 10,000 sq meters
- 1 Gaj (Square Yard) = 9 Square Feet
- 1 Meter = 3.28084 Feet (1 Sq Meter = 10.7639 Sq Feet)
- Regional land measurement definitions are based on state land revenue records.
Worked example: Converting 1 Acre of Agricultural Land in Gujarat
1 Acre contains exactly 43,560 square feet.
Dividing 43,560 by 17,424 gives exactly 2.5 Vigha (or 2 Vigha and 8 Guntha in Gujarat).
In square yards (Vaar / Gaj), 1 Acre equals 4,840 square yards.
Why Bigha Sizes Vary Across Indian States
Unlike metric units such as square meters or international units like acres, the Bigha is a traditional unit historically defined by local agricultural measuring rods (jarib). While Gujarat legally defines a Vigha as 17,424 sq ft (16 gunthas), parts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar measure a Pucca Bigha as 27,225 sq ft. Always verify local revenue records (such as 7/12 extracts or Jamabandi).
