What is Gaj?

Gaj is a traditional unit introduced in the Mughal era to determine land area. Gaj is the Hindi term for one square yard. It is also sometimes referred to as square gaj or square guz.

Gaj is predominantly used in the rural and semi-urban regions in the North Indian states of Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana. Its usage is prevalent in real-estate transactions dealing with smaller land plots and residential properties.

What is Acre?

Acre is a globally popular versatile unit of measurement for land area. One acre is 22 yards by 220 yards, which is 43560 square feet.

It can be measured in any shape, such as a rectangle, circle, or hexagon. You can visualize an acre as roughly the area of an American football field (1.32 acres) or 16 tennis courts in a four-by-four formation. Its straightforward application and easy conversion to other units, such as gaj for large land areas, make it a popular land measuring unit for rural and agricultural land transactions in India.
