Land area unit conversion
land_unitsConvert Indian regional and universal land measurement units under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and State Land Revenue Codes (UP, Punjab, Haryana, West Bengal, Gujarat, Bihar, Assam, HP, MP, Rajasthan).
Behavior: Deterministic, idempotent conversion that requires the state for regional units (Bigha, Katha, Biswa, etc.), because their size differs by state, and refuses rather than guesses. Universal units (sqft, sqm, gaj/sqyd, acre, hectare, guntha, cent, ground, ankanam) resolve nationally. Returns target converted value, square foot baseline, and complete 7-unit standard breakdown.
Usage Guidelines: Specify 'state' when converting traditional units (e.g. 'bigha' or 'katha') to avoid ambiguous multi-fold variance.
