Quick answer: Marla to Square Karam
1 Marla = 9 Square Karam (marla → karam²). To convert marla to square karam, multiply by 9. To convert square karam to marla, multiply by 0.1111111. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common marla-to-square karam questions.
How to convert Marla to Square Karam
To convert marla to square karam, multiply the number of marla by the conversion factor 9, because 1 marla = 9 karam². The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 karam² = 0.1111111 marla, so you divide by 9 (or multiply by 0.1111111) to turn square karam back into marla.
karam² = marla × 9 ·
marla = karam² × 0.1111111
- Write down the value you want to convert, in marla.
- Multiply it by 9.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in square karam.

Marla vs Square Karam: which is bigger?
A marla is the larger unit: one marla equals 9 square karams. Put another way, you need 9 square karams to make a single marla.
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 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.

Tips for converting Marla to Square Karam
- To go from marla to square karam, multiply by 9; to go back, divide by 9 (or multiply by 0.1111111).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 marla ≈ 9 square karam, so 10 marla ≈ 90 square karam.
- 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 Marla to Square Karam converter
Type a number into the Marla field and the equivalent in Square Karam 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 Square Karam field to convert the other way (square karam to marla). 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 marla = 9 karam²), 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 karam conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
