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 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).

How to use this Square Karam to Kanal converter

Type a number into the Square Karam field and the equivalent in Kanal 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 Kanal field to convert the other way (kanal 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 = 0.005555556 kanal), 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-kanal conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
