| Convert from fanega to dhur |
Unit Definition (fanega) The Fanega is a traditional unit of land area in Spain and in some Latin American countries. The unit originated as the amount of land that could be planted with a fanega (a Spanish unit of volume) of seed. It varied considerably from one area to another. In 1801 it was standardized in Spain as the area of a square 96 varas (80.2 meters) on a side; this comes to 0.643 hectare (1.59 acres). After the introduction of the metric system it became customary to refer to an area 80 meters square as a fanega. This unit is not legal but is still used informally in some parts of Spain. The Central American manzana is a counterpart of this traditional Spanish unit. Unit Definition (dhur) The Dhur is a traditional unit of land area in South Asia, equal to 1/20 kattha or 1/400 bigha. Like the bigha, the dhur varied in size from region to another. In Nepal, where the unit is still in use, the dhur equals about 16.9 square meters or 20.2 square yards.
