When you need aana in square meters
Building drawings are usually made in metric, so a plot bought in aana often has to become square meters before design starts. It is also the conversion for comparing a valley plot with property measured in square meters abroad, and for picturing a plot on the ground: 4 aana is 127.18 sq m, a square about 11.28 m on a side.
1 aana is 31.7961 sq m, which rounds to 31.8. It comes from 342.25 sq ft × 0.09290304. The table rounds to two decimals; the converter keeps the full figure.
The smaller units in metric: a paisa is 7.95 sq m and a dam 1.99 sq m, so 0-4-2-0 is 4 aana and 2 paisa, 143.08 sq m. To go back, divide square meters by 31.7961: 150 sq m is 4.72 aana (0-4-2-3.48).
Worked example: 6 aana
6 × 31.7961 = 190.78 sq m, or 2,053.5 sq ft. At 70% ground coverage, the ground floor can cover up to 133.54 sq m. On the lalpurja the plot reads 0-6-0-0.
Plot-size thresholds convert the same way. Our 4 aana house design guide notes that allowed coverage drops from 70% to 60% above 8 aana; in metric, 8 aana is 254.37 sq m.
Common mistakes
- Rounding to 32 sq m an aana. It overstates a 4-aana plot by 0.8157 sq m and an 8-aana one by 1.63 sq m.
- Using the square-feet figure. 342.25 is square feet; read as square meters, it makes an aana more than ten times too big.
- Reading R-A-P-D as a decimal. 0-4-2-0 is 4.5 aana (143.08 sq m), not 4.2 aana.
