How many acre in one bigha?

Answer 1

Biswa - 12 Biswas made 1 Kanaal

Bigha - 20 Biswas made 1 Bigha

A Karam is 5.5 sq ft

9 Karams make one Marla ( 272.25 sq ft )

20 Marlas make one Kanaal ( 5445 sq ft )

8 Kanaals make one Keela ( 43,560 sq ft )

A Keela is measured rectangularly - it is made of 36 Karams x 40 Karams or 198 feet x 220 feet = 43,560 sq feet.

A Keela is the same as an acre. The only difference is that a Keela is measured in a rectangle rather than as a square.

Answer 2

Although the bigha seems to vary considerably in size depending on location, one Nepalese source claims that a bigha is 270 feet by 270 feet. Based on this measurement, one bigha would equal approximately 1.67 acres.
