Idangazhi

Idangazhi is a traditional unit of measurement for volume, primarily used in South India, particularly in the state of Kerala. It is typically used to measure grains like rice and pulses. The Idangazhi is not a standardized unit across all regions and its exact volume can vary depending on local customs and the specific grain being measured. Historically, it was a crucial part of daily life, particularly in agricultural communities, for measuring and distributing food. While metric units are now widely used in official transactions, the Idangazhi still holds cultural significance and may be used in some rural areas or in traditional settings.
