About the ground
In Chennai and the rest of Tamil Nadu, residential land is often quoted in grounds. Tamil Nadu’s Commissionerate of Survey and Settlement lists one ground (manai) as 2,400 sq ft, 222.96 m² or about 5.5 cents. A plot 40 ft by 60 ft is exactly one ground.
The ground ties in with the state’s other units: 24 grounds make a kani of 57,600 sq ft, and about 18.15 grounds make an acre. Outside Tamil Nadu the word is used more loosely, so confirm the size in the sale deed.
