What is a Square Karam? History, origin and usage

The square karam, locally called the sarsahi, is the smallest building block of the Punjab and Haryana land-measurement system. It is the square of the karam, a traditional pace or step fixed at 5.5 feet, so a sarsahi is 5.5 by 5.5 feet, exactly 30.25 square feet.

It is used in revenue records and surveying across Punjab and Haryana, where the whole ladder of marla, kanal, killa and murabba is built up from the karam. Surveyors historically stepped out land in karam before squaring it into sarsahi.

Nine sarsahi make one marla, so the entire Punjab land hierarchy rests on the humble 5.5-foot karam. The same 5.5-foot length is the English rod or pole, which is why the marla equals one square rod.

What is a Marla? History, origin and usage

The marla is a traditional unit of the Indian subcontinent that the British Raj standardised to one square rod (a rod, or pole, being 5.5 yards). That fixed it at 272.25 square feet, or 30.25 square yards, the value still used in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Marla is most prominent in Pakistani Punjab and in the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, where residential plots are sold in marlas and kanals. In India its use is gradually declining in favour of the square yard, square metre, acre and hectare.

Twenty marla make one kanal and 160 marla make one acre. In the Punjab survey system nine sarsahi (square karam) make exactly one marla.

How to use this Square Karam to Marla converter

Type a number into the Square Karam field and the equivalent in Marla 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 Marla field to convert the other way (marla to square karam). 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 karam² = 0.1111111marla), 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 square karam-to-marla 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.
