Convert Vori/Bhori to Aana (vori to Aana)

Vori/Bhori (vori) and Aana (Aana) are both units of mass. With the conversion form below, you can effortlessly and accurately convert vori/bhori to aana. This free online calculator tool makes it simple and easy to perform the conversion from vori unit to the Aana unit.

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object and its resistance to acceleration (inertia). The SI base unit is the kilogram (kg), now defined by fixing the Planck constant at h = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s. Mass differs from weight: weight is the gravitational force acting on a mass (measured in newtons), while mass remains constant regardless of location. Common mass units include gram (g), milligram (mg), tonne (t = 1,000 kg), pound (lb), and ounce (oz).

A vori (also spelled bhori or bori, and written as ভরি in Bengali) is a traditional unit of mass used exclusively for weighing precious metals in Bangladesh and eastern India. Equal to approximately 11.66 grams (0.411 ounce), the vori is the standard measure in Bangladeshi and Indian gold and silver markets. Bangladesh and parts of India, maintain inventory records, and discuss piece weights with customers in bhoris. The unit has been used for centuries in jewelry craftsmanship across various Indian regions and remains deeply integrated into gold trading, jewelry manufacturing, and retail sales, jewelry design specifications, and customer expectations. While South Asian countries have officially adopted the metric system, the vori continues to be widely used in the jewelry trade because of long-standing cultural traditions and established business practices.

Aana (also spelled Ana, आना, আনা, or آنہ) is a traditional South Asian unit of mass historically used for measuring gold, silver, gemstones, and other valuable materials. It forms part of the traditional Tola-based weight system that has been widely used across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan for centuries. Although modern trade primarily uses metric units such as grams and kilograms, Aana remains a familiar unit in jewelry markets, historical records, and traditional precious metal measurements.

One Aana is equal to approximately 0.7289877375 grams and represents one-sixteenth of a Tola. Because of its close relationship with other traditional units such as Tola, Masha, and Ratti, Aana is still encountered when discussing gold pricing, jewelry valuation, and historical weight measurements. Understanding Aana helps bridge the gap between traditional South Asian measurement systems and modern metric standards.
