How to use the Jagga Napi converter

Land in Nepal is measured in two traditional systems. In the hills and Kathmandu Valley, lalpurja and naksa figures are written as Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam (R-A-P-D). In the Terai, land is measured in Bigha-Kattha-Dhur. This converter changes any of these into square feet, square metres, acres and hectares, and between the two systems.

Pick the system your land is measured in: Ropani, Bigha, or another unit such as square feet.
Type the figures from your document. For example, a plot written as 0-8-2-1 means 0 ropani, 8 aana, 2 paisa and 1 daam.
The results update as you type. The R-A-P-D and B-K-D boxes show the same area in the local format.
