Mana
and Pathi are traditional measuring units for grains, lentils and other
agricultural products, widely used in Nepal before the introduction of the
metric system. Mana is a smaller unit, while Pathi is larger, with 1 Pathi
equal to 8 Manas. These units were widely used before the metric system and are
still prevalent in rural markets and farming communities. They symbolize
Nepal’s historical agricultural economy and are an integral part of traditional
grain trade practices.
