Are vs Lessa: which is bigger?
A are is the larger unit: one are equals 7.474938 lessas. Put another way, you need 7.474938 lessas to make a single are.
What is a Are? History, origin and usage
The are is the original metric unit of land area, established by the French Revolutionary metric law of 1795 as 100 square metres. Its name comes from the Latin area, and it gave rise to the much more widely used hectare (100 ares).
Today the are itself is rarely used in everyday measurement, having been largely displaced by the square metre and the hectare. It survives mainly in a few European cadastral contexts and as the building block from which the hectare is defined.
One are is a square of 10 metres by 10 metres, and 100 ares make one hectare. It is one of the few metric units whose name survives chiefly inside a larger derived unit.
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 The unit was officially superseded by metric measures in the mid-20th century but survives in local land dealings.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.

Tips for converting Are to Lessa
- To go from are to lessa, multiply by 7.474938; to go back, divide by 7.474938 (or multiply by 0.1337804).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 are ≈ 7.474938 lessa, so 10 are ≈ 74.74938 lessa.
- 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 Are to Lessa converter
Type a number into the Are field and the equivalent in Lessa 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 Lessa field to convert the other way (lessa to are). 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 are = 7.474938 lessa), 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 are-to-lessa conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
