The bigha or beegah (Persian: بیگھا, Hindi: बीघा) is a traditional unit of measurement of area of a land, commonly used in northern & eastern India, Bangladesh and Nepal. There is no "standard" size of bigha and it varies considerably from place to place.[1]
Sources have given measurement of Bigha ranging from 6,805 square feet (632.2 m2) to 72,880 square feet (6,771 m2). It's sub-unit is Biswa or Katha in many regions, but it has no "standard" size. A bigha may have 5 to 20 Katha/ biswa in different regions.
