Square Mile To Bigha (Mi² To Bigha) Converter

The Square Mile To Bigha (Mi² To Bigha) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert an area measurement from square miles to bighas. This is especially useful for those working with land measurements in regions where both units are commonly used.

A square mile (Mi²) is a unit of area measurement primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It represents the area of a square with sides measuring one mile each. One square mile is equal to 2.58999 square kilometers or approximately 640 acres.

A bigha is a traditional unit of land measurement used in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The size of a bigha varies by region, but in many parts of India, one bigha is approximately equal to 1,500 to 2,500 square meters, or roughly 0.2 to 0.33 acres. For simplicity, in this converter, we use a standard approximation where 1 bigha equals about 1,600 square meters (approximately 0.395 acres).

To convert from square miles to bighas, you can use the following formula:
**Bighas = Square Miles × Conversion Factor**

Since 1 square mile equals approximately 2,589,988.11 square meters, and 1 bigha is about 1,600 square meters, the conversion factor is roughly 1 bigha = 1,600 m². Therefore, the formula becomes:
**Bighas = (Square Miles × 2,589,988.11) / 1,600**

This converter simplifies the process, allowing you to input the area in square miles and instantly get the equivalent area in bighas, making land measurement conversions quick and easy for beginners and professionals alike.
