What is a Marla? History, origin and usage

The marla is a traditional unit of the Indian subcontinent that the British Raj standardised to one square rod (a rod, or pole, being 5.5 yards). That fixed it at 272.25 square feet, or 30.25 square yards, the value still used in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Marla is most prominent in Pakistani Punjab and in the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, where residential plots are sold in marlas and kanals. In India its use is gradually declining in favour of the square yard, square metre, acre and hectare.

Twenty marla make one kanal and 160 marla make one acre. In the Punjab survey system nine sarsahi (square karam) make exactly one marla.

What is a Square Inch? History, origin and usage

The square inch is an imperial and US-customary unit, the area of a square one inch on each side. The inch is one of the oldest small length units, historically linked to the width of a thumb.

It is used for small areas in the US and UK and, importantly, in pressure measurement, since pounds per square inch (psi) is a standard pressure unit for tyres, gauges and engineering. It also appears in print and screen specifications.

There are 144 square inches in a square foot, and one square inch is 6.4516 square centimetres. Tyre pressures quoted in psi are forces spread over each square inch of contact.

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 marla = 39,204 in²), 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 marla-to-square inch conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
