Akkula

Akkula (also spelled Akkulaa) is a term used primarily in certain regions of Andhra Pradesh, India, to refer to a traditional unit of measurement, specifically a measure of grain or land. Its precise size can vary depending on local custom and historical context. It is generally considered a small, localized unit, often less than a standard acre or hectare. Due to its variable nature, the Akkula is becoming less common in modern land transactions and agricultural measurements, with standardized units like acres and hectares being preferred. The term persists, however, in local parlance and may still be used informally or in reference to older land records. The exact equivalent of an Akkula in modern units is not universally defined and requires knowledge of the specific region where the term is being used. Historical usage may also relate the Akkula to a specific quantity of seed required to sow a particular area.
