The description of the size of your property in India will depend entirely on where that property is situated. The names for Indian land measurement units not only vary from region to region, but the units represent significantly different areas. The ankanam is a land area unit in use in the Nellore district. The "ankanam," sometimes spelled "aankadam," is equivalent to about 72 square feet. If you are in the market for property in India, familiarity with local land units and their conversion to globally recognized units is essential.
