Commonly-cited approximate figure — confirm the exact local value with your state or district land revenue department before any transaction.How big is one bigha in Rajasthan?
One bigha in Rajasthan measures 27,225 square feet. The same area is 3,025 square yards, 2,529.29 square metres, or about 0.625 acres — and because an acre is fixed worldwide at exactly 43,560 square feet, one acre holds roughly 1.6 bigha. The figure derives from Pucca bigha = 3,025 sq yd. In local practice the bigha divides into 20 biswa, and most transactions are actually quoted in that sub-unit rather than in bigha. Rajasthan also uses the kaccha bigha of 17,424 square feet, so establishing which bigha a seller means is not optional. For scale, the smallest bigha in the country is 6,806.25 square feet and the largest is 27,225 — a fourfold spread across one country.
