How to convert Square Karam to Gaj

To convert square karam to gaj, multiply the number of square karam by the conversion factor 3.361111, because 1 karam² = 3.361111 gaj. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 gaj = 0.2975207 karam², so you divide by 3.361111 (or multiply by 0.2975207) to turn gaj back into square karam.

gaj = karam² × 3.361111  ·  karam² = gaj × 0.2975207

1. Write down the value you want to convert, in square karam.
2. Multiply it by 3.361111.
3. The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in gaj.

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 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.

How to use this Square Karam to Gaj converter

Type a number into the Square Karam field and the equivalent in Gaj 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 Gaj field to convert the other way (gaj 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 = 3.361111 gaj), 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-gaj conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
