About Pura in Assam

Pura is a traditional unit of land measurement used in some parts of India, particularly in rural regions of states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. In Assam, the value of 1 Pura can vary, but it is generally considered to be a subdivision of a larger unit like Bigha or Kattha, depending on local customs. Pura is mainly used in village-level land dealings in Assam, especially for small agricultural plots.

Historical Background in Assam

The use of Pura dates back to pre-colonial times and was part of localized systems of land measurement and revenue collection. In Assam, it has been traditionally used in oral agreements and informal records. While modern land records have moved toward standardized units, Pura continues to hold relevance in rural property discussions and ancestral land divisions across Assam.

Historical Background in Assam

The Bigha unit has ancient roots in India’s agrarian society and was traditionally used to measure farmland and rural landholdings. Its usage in Assam predates the Mughal and British colonial eras but was formalized during both regimes. Since different rulers and regions used their own standards for Bigha, no nationwide standard conversion emerged. This diversity persists today, resulting in varied Bigha-to-square foot or Bigha-to-acre conversions in Assam and other Indian states.
