How to convert Gaj to Pura
To convert gaj to pura, multiply the number of gaj by the conversion factor 0.00015625, because 1 gaj = 0.00015625 pura. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 pura = 6,400 gaj, so you divide by 0.00015625 (or multiply by 6,400) to turn pura back into gaj.
pura = gaj × 0.00015625 ·
gaj = pura × 6,400
- Write down the value you want to convert, in gaj.
- Multiply it by 0.00015625.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in pura.

Gaj vs Pura: which is bigger?
A pura is the larger unit: one pura equals 6,400 gajs. Put another way, you need 6,400 gajs to make a single pura.
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.
What is a Pura? History, origin and usage
The pura is a large land unit reported in Assam, but its size is genuinely disputed between sources rather than fixed by a single authority. It is most often described as four Assam bigha, though some aggregators quote considerably larger figures, so its history should be treated with caution.
It appears in some Assam land dealings and property references for sizeable agricultural or estate-scale holdings. Because the figure varies between references, any pura measurement is best confirmed against local land records.
Taken as four Assam bigha, one pura works out to 57,600 square feet, the value supported by multiple property and land-record references. Larger figures circulate online without a verifiable primary source, so the exact size is contested.

Tips for converting Gaj to Pura
- To go from gaj to pura, multiply by 0.00015625; to go back, divide by 0.00015625 (or multiply by 6,400).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 gaj ≈ 0.00015625 pura, so 10 gaj ≈ 0.0015625 pura.
- 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 Gaj to Pura converter
Type a number into the Gaj field and the equivalent in Pura 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 Pura field to convert the other way (pura to gaj). 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 gaj = 0.00015625 pura), 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 gaj-to-pura conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
