What is Bigha and Biswa in Himachal Pradesh?
बीघा / बिस्वा
The area units the Jamabandi uses in most of Himachal Pradesh, with Kanal and Marla used in parts of the state. The size of a local unit is not the same everywhere in India, so convert with the figure the tehsil uses before comparing with a deed in square metres or acres.
