Reverse Conversion
- Decimal → Katha = Decimal ÷ 3.125
- Katha → Decimal = Katha × 3.125
- Katha → Sq. Ft. = Katha × 1,361.25
- Decimal → Sq. Ft. = Decimal × 435.6
- Sq. Ft. → Decimal = Sq. Ft. ÷ 435.6
- Sq. Ft. → Katha = Sq. Ft. ÷ 1,361.25
Note: The conversion 1 Katha = 3.125 Decimal is a local (Patna region) standard followed in many revenue villages (mauzas). Bihar does not have a single uniform Katha measurement across all districts, so the conversion may differ in other regions.
Below are examples based on the Patna (Bihar) Standard:
1 Katha = 20 Dhur = 3.125 Decimal = 1,361.25 sq. ft.
1 Dhur = 20 Dhurki = 68.0625 sq. ft. = 0.15625 Decimal
1 Dhurki = 3.403125 sq. ft. = 0.0078125 Decimal

Quick Conversion Formula
- Decimal = Square Feet ÷ 435.6
- Katha = Square Feet ÷ 1361.25
- Dhur = Fractional Katha × 20
- Dhurki = Fractional Dhur × 20
Example Formula
For 3,000 sq. ft.
- Katha = 3000 ÷ 1361.25 = 2.2044
- Whole Katha = 2
- Remaining = 0.2044 × 20 = 4.088 Dhur → 4 Dhur
- Remaining = 0.088 × 20 = 2 Dhurki
Final Answer: 3,000 sq. ft. = 2 Katha 4 Dhur 2 Dhurki (Approx.)
