Gaj, gaz and square yard

Gaj (also spelt gaz or guz) is the Hindi and Bengali word for a yard. When people say a plot is "200 gaj" they mean 200 square gaj, that is 200 square yards. Builders in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh quote plots in gaj; flats are quoted in square feet; registry papers and government schemes use square metres. This page converts between all three, and the gaj to square metre converter focuses on the metric side.
