Katha to Acre converter

About Katha

Katha is a traditional unit of land measurement widely used in South Asia, particularly in India (states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh), Nepal, and Bangladesh. Its value is not standardized and varies by region, making it essential for local transactions involving agricultural land, residential plots, or real estate.

For example, in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, 1 Katha equals 1,361 square feet, while in Nepal, it equals 3,645 square feet, and in Bangladesh, it measures 720 square feet.

The Katha remains a crucial cultural and practical unit in areas where traditional land measurements hold more significance than modern metric units.

About Acre

The Acre is a globally recognized and standardized unit of area measurement, primarily used in countries like the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

It is commonly employed to measure large plots of land, such as farms, parks, and estates. One Acre equals 43,560 square feet or approximately 4,047 square meters.

Historically, the term originated from Old English, referring to the amount of land that could be plowed by a yoke of oxen in one day. The Acre’s universal nature makes it an invaluable unit for international land deals and a key reference in real estate and agriculture.
