Thanks a lot MD. That was very precise! 2009/11/1 MD > 'Khandi' is part of former weights and measurements. > One 'khandi' is equal to 220.32 kgs If you don't mind me asking another (potentially silly) question: when someone says, 'That is a five-khandi field' do they mean the field yields five khandis of paddy? Or rice? Just curious... Very tough to get references to such information online and even in the printed world perhaps.

No Fatima: One 'paili' = four 'podds' ...one 'podd' = four 'an'natis'.

Re: [Goanet] What is a khandi
What about ananti and geananti (sorry for the spellings) used to measure rice and other cereals.? Is one paili equivalent to four ananti?

One kuddo is two pailis and one paili is equal to four poddis. We had a measure called podd. One kilo is equal to one and quarter podd. Podd is a measure of volume. Kilo, assuming it is kilogram, is a measure of mass, or in common parlance, weight. A podd of tisreo cannot have the same weight as a podd of rice. So, one kilo of what is equal to a podd and a quarter of it? Rice, tisreo, sugar, wheat, chirmuleo, chonne, bhiknna? Cheers, Santosh
