A katha (also spelled kattha or cottah) is a unit of area in Bangladesh and India approximately equal to 1/20 of a bigha.

This unit is still in use in much of Bangladesh and India, but the size varies significantly from place to place. In the Indian state of Bihar, one katha may vary from 750 ft² to 2000 ft². Also this can be 32 by 30 feet in length and breadth respectively.

In Bangladesh, one katha is standardized to 720 square feet (67 m2), and 20 katha equals 1 bigha.

The Katha is still in use in Nepal, where it is equivalent to 338.57 m² (3,644.3 ft²).[.[1]
