About the lessa
Assam’s land records count area in bigha, katha and lessa. With a 14,400 sq ft bigha divided into 5 katha and each katha into 20 lessa, one lessa works out to 144 sq ft, or about 13.38 m².
A plot written as “1 bigha 2 katha 5 lessa” is therefore 14,400 + 5,760 + 720 = 20,880 sq ft. Wikipedia notes that the katha may vary within different regions of Assam, so the lessa can too; the land record (jamabandi) and the circle office are what count for a specific plot.
