When you need ropani in square feet

House construction in Nepal is planned and priced by the square foot, so the moment land in ropani turns into a design, a floor area or a cost estimate, you need the plot in square feet. It is also the easiest way to compare plots, because a figure like 0-7-2-1 means little until it becomes one number.

The figure is exact: 1 ropani is 5,476 sq ft, the area of a square 74 ft on each side. Each aana is 342.25 sq ft (a square of 18.5 ft), each paisa 85.5625 sq ft and each dam 21.390625 sq ft.

For quick sums the other way, 1,000 sq ft is a little under 3 aana (2.92) and 10,000 sq ft is just under 2 ropani (1.83). To write a square-foot figure the way a lalpurja does, use the square feet to R-A-P-D converter.

Worked example: 2.25 ropani

2.25 × 5,476 = 12,321 sq ft. The quarter ropani is 4 aana, so on a lalpurja the plot reads 2-4-0-0, and in square meters it is 1,144.66.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is reading a decimal ropani as R-A-P-D. 1.3 ropani is not 1 ropani 3 aana: it is 20.8 aana, written 1-4-3-0.8, or 7,118.8 sq ft. 1 ropani 3 aana (1-3-0-0) is 6,502.75 sq ft, 616.05 sq ft less.

The other is rounding the small units. Older tables give a dam as 21.39 sq ft instead of 21.390625. Over a ropani, which is 256 dam, that loses only 0.16 sq ft, but there is no reason to round when the exact size is known.
