What is a Pura? History, origin and usage

The pura is a large land unit reported in Assam, but its size is genuinely disputed between sources rather than fixed by a single authority. It is most often described as four Assam bigha, though some aggregators quote considerably larger figures, so its history should be treated with caution.

It appears in some Assam land dealings and property references for sizeable agricultural or estate-scale holdings. Because the figure varies between references, any pura measurement is best confirmed against local land records.

Taken as four Assam bigha, one pura works out to 57,600 square feet, the value supported by multiple property and land-record references. Larger figures circulate online without a verifiable primary source, so the exact size is contested.

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 written in official land records 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. One thing to check if you are buying in Pakistan: 272.25 square feet is the size used in official land records on both sides of the border, and it is exactly 1/160 of an acre, but many housing societies — including DHA schemes and CDA Islamabad — sell a smaller marla of 225 square feet (25 square yards). The gap is 47.25 square feet per marla, so a 10-marla plot can differ by 472.5 square feet. This converter uses the 272.25 square foot record standard, so check your own plot papers to see which one they mean.

How to use this Pura to Marla converter

Type a number into the Pura field and the equivalent in Marla 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 Marla field to convert the other way (marla to pura). 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 pura = 211.5702 marla), 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 pura-to-marla conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
