Convert Lessa to Gaj
1 lessa = 16 gaj (gaj). For example, 10 lessa = 160 gaj and 100 lessa = 1,600 gaj. Type any value below to convert lessa to gaj both ways — it runs entirely in your browser.
Quick answer: Lessa to Gaj
1 Lessa = 16Gaj (lessa → gaj). To convert lessa to gaj, multiply by 16. To convert gaj to lessa, multiply by 0.0625. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common lessa-to-gaj questions.
How to convert Lessa to Gaj
To convert lessa to gaj, multiply the number of lessa by the conversion factor 16, because 1 lessa = 16gaj. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 gaj = 0.0625lessa, so you divide by 16 (or multiply by 0.0625) to turn gaj back into lessa.
gaj = lessa × 16 ·
lessa = gaj × 0.0625
- Write down the value you want to convert, in lessa.
- Multiply it by 16.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in gaj.

Lessa vs Gaj: which is bigger?
A lessa is the larger unit: one lessa equals 16 gajs. Put another way, you need 16 gajs to make a single lessa.
What is a Lessa? History, origin and usage
Lessa (also spelt lecha, locha or losha) is a small traditional land unit of Assam and neighbouring parts of north-east India. Its precise origin is not well recorded, but it long predates metrication and forms the base of the Assamese bigha-katha-lessa ladder.
It is used in Assam for fine measurement of small plots, where 20 lessa make one katha and, because the Assam bigha equals five katha, 100 lessa make one bigha. The unit was officially superseded by metric measures in the mid-20th century but survives in local land dealings.
One lessa is 144 square feet, a tidy 12-foot by 12-foot square. It can be subdivided further into still smaller traditional units such as powas and kanis.
What is a Gaj? History, origin and usage
As a land unit the gaj is simply a square gaj, the gaj (or gaz) being the South Asian yard. The word descends from the Classical Persian gaz, a yard-like length carried into Hindustani during the Mughal era, when Emperor Akbar standardised an Ilahi gaz of about 33 inches around 1584. It is unrelated to the identical-sounding Hindi word gaj meaning elephant.
Gaj is the everyday unit for plots, houses and carpet area across North India, especially Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan, where listings routinely quote a plot as so many gaj. It is functionally the square yard, so it sits between the square foot and larger units like the bigha or acre.
One gaj equals one square yard, which is nine square feet, so a 100-gaj plot is 900 square feet. The same word for the linear yard also gives Indian roads their old milestone measurements.

Tips for converting Lessa to Gaj
- To go from lessa to gaj, multiply by 16; to go back, divide by 16 (or multiply by 0.0625).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 lessa ≈ 16 gaj, so 10 lessa ≈ 160 gaj.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Lessa to Gaj converter
Type a number into the Lessa field and the equivalent in Gaj appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Gaj field to convert the other way (gaj to lessa). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 lessa = 16gaj), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for lessa-to-gaj conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
Frequently asked questions
- How many gaj are in 1 lessa?
- 1 lessa = 16 gaj (gaj). To convert any number of lessa to gaj, multiply by 16.
- How do I convert lessa to gaj?
- Multiply the number of lessa by 16. For example, 10 lessa = 10 × 16 = 160 gaj, and 25 lessa = 400 gaj.
- How many lessa are in 1 gaj?
- 1 gaj = 0.0625 lessa. So to convert gaj back to lessa, multiply by 0.0625.
- What is the formula to convert lessa to gaj?
- gaj = lessa × 16. The reverse formula is lessa = gaj × 0.0625.
- How much is 100 lessa in gaj?
- 100 lessa = 1,600 gaj. (And 1000 lessa = 16,000 gaj.)
- Which is bigger, a lessa or a gaj?
- A lessa is larger: 1 lessa = 16 gaj.
- Is this lessa to gaj converter accurate?
- Yes — every value is computed from the exact 16 gaj per lessa factor (not rounded look-up tables), and the factors are re-verified automatically on every update.
- Can I convert gaj to lessa too?
- Yes. The converter works both ways — enter a value in either field. 1 gaj = 0.0625 lessa.
