About Gaj (Guz) in Uttar Pradesh

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.

The legacy of this unit continues, particularly in regions where traditional and customary land measurement systems are still in practice.
