Frequently Asked Questions
How many square feet are in a ropani?
1 ropani = 5,476 square feet. This is the standard ratio used in Nepal's hill regions. A ropani is divided into 16 aana, each aana into 4 paisa, and each paisa into 4 daam — so 1 ropani = 256 daam.
What is the difference between ropani and bigha?
Ropani and bigha are different land measurement systems used in different parts of Nepal. The ropani system (ropani, aana, paisa, daam) is used in the hill and mountain regions. The bigha system (bigha, kattha, dhur) is used in the Terai plains. 1 bigha ≈ 6,772.63 sq m; 1 ropani ≈ 508.74 sq m — so 1 bigha is roughly 13.3 ropani.
How many aana are in a ropani?
1 ropani = 16 aana. The full hierarchy is: 1 ropani = 16 aana = 64 paisa = 256 daam. Each subdivision divides by 4.
What is a tola in grams?
1 tola = 11.6638 grams. Tola is a traditional South Asian unit of weight used for gold, silver, and gems. 1 tola = 16 laal (also called ratti). It is still widely used in Nepal and India for jewellery measurement.
Is this converter suitable for legal land measurement in Nepal?
This is a reference converter using standard published ratios. For legally binding land area — such as property purchase, transfer, or registration — always rely on the official lalpurja (land ownership certificate) and government survey department figures, which are authoritative. Local practice may differ slightly from the ratios used here.
