The Gaj, also known as Gaz or Guz, is a traditional unit of measurement prevalent in northern India, particularly in states like Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab. Historically, it was introduced during the Mughal era and was commonly used for measuring textiles and land.
In contemporary usage, especially in real estate and land transactions, one Gaj is equivalent to 9 square feet.
The Katha is a traditional unit of land measurement widely used in regions such as Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal in India, as well as in Bangladesh and Nepal. While not part of the International System of Units (SI), Katha continues to hold cultural and practical significance in these areas. The specific value of 1 Katha varies by region, making it essential to know the local context when using this unit.
In many Indian states, 1 Katha is equivalent to 151.25 Gaj (or approximately 126.44 square meters, the SI-derived base unit).
In Nepal and Bangladesh, 1 Katha is often equivalent to 1361 square feet, while in India, it is commonly taken as 720 square feet.
If you have an area of 350 Gaj and want to convert it to Katha:
350 Gaj × 0.0066 Katha/Gaj = 2.31 Katha
Therefore, 350 Gaj is approximately equal to 2.31 Katha.
