About the murabba

Murabba means “square”. In Punjab land usage it names a block of 25 killa, and because a consolidated killa is one acre, a murabba is 25 acres: 200 kanal, 1,089,000 sq ft or about 10.12 hectares. The same 25-acre figure appears in the United Nations handbook of world weights and measures for Pakistan.

Farm holdings in Indian and Pakistani Punjab are often described in murabbas and killas, for example “two murabbas and five killas” for 55 acres. The land record lists the exact area in kanal and marla.
