In Indian real estate, gaj (also written guz) is the local name for the square yard. That means the conversion is delightfully simple: 1 square yard = 1 gaj. To convert, just copy the number: 25 yd2 is 25 gaj. For metric checks, remember 1 gaj ≈ 0.836127 m2.
A square yard is an imperial unit of area, written sqyd, defined by a square with sides one yard long. Since a yard equals three feet, 1 yd2 = 9 ft2, or about 0.836127 m2. You’ll meet it in carpet quotes, turf rolls, fabric cuts, and property ads. Think of it as a practical bridge between everyday buying decisions and the precise language of measurement.
A gaj-also spelled gaz or guz-is a traditional South Asian unit now used in real estate to mean a square yard of area. Written as gaj or yd2, it equals the area of a square one yard on a side: 1 gaj = 1 square yard ≈ 0.836127 m2 (9 ft2). Don’t confuse it with the linear gaj (a yard of length); in property listings "gaj" almost always refers to area. Common in North India, Pakistan, and Nepal today.
