Kanal vs Lessa: which is bigger?
A kanal is the larger unit: one kanal equals 37.8125 lessas. Put another way, you need 37.8125 lessas to make a single kanal.
What is a Kanal? History, origin and usage
The kanal is a land unit of the northern subcontinent that, like the marla, was given a fixed value under British administration. It was tied to the acre as exactly one-eighth of it, equal to 20 marla or 605 square yards.
It remains a standard residential and agricultural unit in Pakistan and in northern India, particularly Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. In Pakistani cities a 'one-kanal house' is a recognised premium plot size.
Eight kanal make one acre, so a kanal is one-eighth of an acre. It nests neatly with the marla above it (20 marla) and the killa or acre below it (8 kanal).
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 The unit was officially superseded by metric measures in the mid-20th century but survives in local land dealings.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.

- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Kanal to Lessa converter
Type a number into the Kanal 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 kanal). 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 kanal = 37.8125lessa), 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 kanal-to-lessa 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.
