When you need B-K-D in square meters
A Terai lalpurja gives land as bigha-kattha-dhur, while engineering drawings and buyers abroad work in square meters. Converting the B-K-D figure is the first step in designing on a plot, comparing it with land elsewhere, or checking a metric survey against the certificate.
Convert each part and add: bigha × 6,772.63, kattha × 338.63 and dhur × 16.93. All three come from exact sizes in square feet (72,900, 3,645 and 182.25), so for full precision, add up square feet first and convert once.
For a quick check, a kattha is about a third of 1,000 sq m and a dhur roughly 17 sq m, so 0-5-10 should come to a little under 1,900 sq m (exactly 1,862.47). A hectare, for comparison, is 1.48 bigha (1-9-10.61).
Worked example: 2-3-5
- Bigha: 2 × 72,900 = 145,800 sq ft.
- Kattha: 3 × 3,645 = 10,935 sq ft.
- Dhur: 5 × 182.25 = 911.25 sq ft.
- Total: 157,646.25 sq ft × 0.09290304 = 14,645.82 sq m, or 1.46 hectares.
In hill units the same 2-3-5 is 28-12-2-1.88, about 28.79 ropani. To go from square meters back to B-K-D, divide by 6,772.63 for bigha, the remainder by 338.63 for kattha and the rest by 16.93 for dhur.
Common mistakes
- Dropping a zero. "10 dhur" is 0-0-10, 169.32 sq m; written 0-10-0 it becomes 10 kattha, 3,386.32 sq m, twenty times as much.
- Reading B-K-D as R-A-P-D. Three figures are bigha-kattha-dhur and four are ropani-aana-paisa-dam. In B-K-D, 0-1-5 is 423.29 sq m.
- Copying a wrong kattha figure. A kattha is 338.63 sq m; a one-digit slip to 388.63 adds 50 sq m to every kattha.
Frequently asked questions
How many square meters is 1 bigha?
6,772.63 sq m (0.6773 ha), from 72,900 sq ft.
How many square meters is 1 kattha?
338.63 sq m, and 1 dhur is 16.93 sq m.
How do I convert 1-5-10 (B-K-D) to square meters?
Add up square feet: 72,900 + 5 × 3,645 + 10 × 182.25 = 92,947.5 sq ft, which is 8,635.11 sq m.
