What is Shajra / Sajra?

The village cadastral map showing every plot with its khasra number.

The shajra (village map) is a large sheet showing the boundary of every plot in the village, each labelled with its khasra number. The patwari keeps a cloth copy called the shajra kishtwar. When boundaries are disputed, the shajra plus a field measurement is how they are settled.
