Marla (मारला) is a unit of land measurement used
in India, especially in North and North Western parts. It is often used along
with other terms like bigha(15 marlas), gaj (3 to 4 bighas), or sarsahi (3
bighas). Marla means 'length of middle finger' and is believed to have been
derived from ancient Indian system of measurement, which put the length of the
middle finger as one unit for comparison for various lengths/units. This was a
much easier way to measure things when village folks didn't rely on tools that
had been invented after their time.
A marla in
India can be described as an entire unit that is equal to nine sarsahi or
272.25 sqft. It was derived from the word "merul" meaning –
measurement (9 x 30.25). Now, a marla of land is no longer measured on a
permanent basis by 160th portion of acre since acres have been changed to
metric probably (1 cent is approximately equal to 1.6 marlas). As well, it's
also one quarter of a kharek which is 2933 sqft and is approximately equal
0.15352 hectares
