About the guntha

The guntha is a fixed fraction of the acre: 40 guntha make one acre, so one guntha is 1,089 sq ft, 121 sq yd or about 101.17 m². It is a square of 33 ft, half a Gunter’s chain on each side, so four guntha make one square chain. Agricultural land in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Telangana is commonly described in acres and guntha.

Many Maharashtra 7/12 extracts now give area in hectares and ares (H.R.). An are is 100 m² (about 1,076 sq ft), a little smaller than a guntha, so the two should not be swapped one for one: 1 hectare is 100 ares but about 98.84 guntha.
