Gaj, also known as Guz, is a traditional unit of measurement commonly used in Punjab, particularly for measuring land and textiles. It is often regarded as the regional equivalent of a square yard. In modern land measurement, 1 Gaj = 0.020660984848485 Decimal.
Despite India's formal adoption of the metric system, Gaj remains widely used in real estate transactions, especially in Punjab, where customary practices still influence property measurement and land records.
The origin of the Gaj (or Guz) dates back to the Mughal era, where it was introduced as a standard unit for measuring cloth in royal and local markets. Over time, its use extended beyond textiles into real estate and land measurement. During the British colonial rule, the Gaj was widely adopted in land records, which helped institutionalize its use in several parts of North India. The legacy of this unit continues, particularly in regions where traditional and customary land measurement systems are still in practice.
