Overlay a killa/murabba grid on a satellite map and georeference an aks-shajra (revenue map) to locate khasra numbers and plot boundaries. A practical Musavi tool for visualising revenue land records.
What is an aks-shajra and a musavi?
The shajra (or aks-shajra) is the official revenue map of a mouza (village/estate) that shows the layout and numbering of every khasra (field). The musavi is the scaled measurement sheet used by the patwari. Overlaying these on a satellite map helps you visually locate a particular khasra number and see how parcels fit together on the ground.
The killa / murabba (rectangulation) system
Under murabbabandi (rectangulation), agricultural land is divided into large squares called murabba, each split into numbered killas. This tool lets you draw that grid over satellite imagery, so you can relate revenue-map parcels and khasra numbers to real locations on the land.
How to georeference an aks-shajra
Place your aks-shajra image on the map, then align (georeference) it against the satellite view using known corners or reference points. Once aligned, you can trace boundaries, read approximate dimensions, and overlay a killa grid to match the revenue map to the actual ground.
