Katha or Biswa (also spelled kattha or cottah; Hindi: कट्ठा, Assamese: কঠা, Bengali: কাঠা) is a unit of area mostly used for land measurement in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. After metrication in the mid-20th century by these countries, the unit became officially obsolete.
One bigha is equal to 20 Katha (14,400 square feet or 1,600 square yard) as standardized in pre-partition Bengal during the British rule. In other words, 3 bigha are just 0.5 Katha or 360 sq ft short of 1 acre. (One Acre = 4,840 sq yd or 43,560 sq ft or 4,047 sq m).
The term Tinkathia literally means three Katha, which is a unit of measurement for land used in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. [1] In Indian units of measurement, each Bigha is sub-divided into twenty Katha. The Tinkathia System forced Indian peasants to grow only Indigo on three out of every twenty Katha. [1]
