1000 gaj in square feet is 9,000 sq ft. Each gaj, or square yard, is 9 sq ft, so 1,000 × 9 = 9,000. Gaz and gajam are other spellings of the same unit.
This is a big piece of land for a town. It suits a farmhouse, a small school, a godown or a group of houses.
What 1,000 gaj looks like
- 90 ft by 100 ft
- 60 ft by 150 ft
- 75 ft by 120 ft
- 45 ft by 200 ft, a long strip along a road
For comparison, a 100 gaj house plot is 900 sq ft, so 1,000 gaj holds ten such plots before roads and drains are taken out.

In Delhi, revenue records still use bigha and biswa for village land. A Delhi bigha is 9,075 sq ft, which is 1,008.3333 gaj. So 1,000 gaj is just under one Delhi bigha: 0.9917 bigha. With the commonly used pucca bigha of Uttar Pradesh (27,225 sq ft), 1,000 gaj is only 0.3306 bigha. Bigha sizes vary, so do not use one figure everywhere.

Practical tips
On a large plot, small errors add up. If each side is short by just 1 ft on a 90 ft by 100 ft plot, you get 8,811 sq ft, which is 189 sq ft or 21 gaj less. Get a licensed surveyor to measure. For farm land, check the khasra and khatauni area on the state portal, and confirm with the tehsil or patwari before any sale.
