Hectare vs Lessa: which is bigger?
A hectare is the larger unit: one hectare equals 747.4938 lessas. Put another way, you need 747.4938 lessas to make a single hectare.
What is a Hectare? History, origin and usage
The hectare belongs to the metric system created during the French Revolution; the law of 18 Germinal, Year III (1795) defined the are as 100 square metres for measuring land. The hectare is 100 ares, its name combining the Greek hecto- (hundred) with the are.
It is the legal unit for land area across the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and much of the world, used in agriculture, forestry, planning and land management. In India it appears in official agricultural statistics and land records alongside the acre.
One hectare is 10,000 square metres, about 2.47 acres, and 100 hectares make one square kilometre. It is close in size to an international rugby pitch, which makes it a handy mental yardstick.
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 The unit was officially superseded by metric measures in the mid-20th century but survives in local land dealings.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 Hectare to 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 Hectare to Lessa converter
Type a number into the Hectare 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 hectare). 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 ha = 747.4938 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 hectare-to-lessa conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
