Biswa to Square Feet Converter (1 Biswa = 1,350 sq ft)

A biswa is one twentieth of a bigha, so its size follows the local bigha. In Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand a biswa is 1,350 square feet. Pick your region below and the converter uses the matching bigha, with the biswa set to one twentieth of it. If your village uses a different biswa, type its size in square feet in the optional box.

1 biswa = 1,350 square feet (Uttar Pradesh) 20 biswa = 1 bigha of 27,000 sq ft. 1 biswa = 150 sq yd = 125.42 sq m = 20 biswansi.

How the region picker works

The picker sets the size of one bigha for the region. The biswa is then one twentieth of that bigha and the biswansi one twentieth of the biswa. Select "Rajasthan (pucca bigha)" and the biswa becomes 1,361.25 sq ft; select "Punjab and Haryana" and it becomes 544.5 sq ft. The optional box below the picker overrides the biswa size with any number you type, which is useful when a patwari record gives a local figure.

Size of one biswa by region

Region	1 bigha in sq ft	1 biswa in sq ft	1 biswa in sq yd
Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand	27,000	1,350	150
Rajasthan (pucca bigha)	27,225	1,361.25	151.25
Punjab, Haryana	10,890	544.5	60.5
Himachal Pradesh	8,712	435.6	48.4

These are the commonly used sizes. Some villages in western Uttar Pradesh and parts of Uttarakhand use a smaller local bigha, and the biswa shrinks with it. For a registry or a mutation, follow the size in the khatauni.
