Biswa · बिस्वा
Measurement
In one line
A subdivision of the bigha — an eighth of it in Himachal, a twentieth elsewhere.
In Himachal Pradesh 8 biswa make a bigha, so one biswa is 1,089 sq ft. In most other northern states the bigha divides into 20 biswa instead. A biswa further divides into 20 biswansi.
