The hasta is an ancient unit of measurement that originated in India and was historically used to measure length. It is traditionally defined as the distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger when the fingers are fully extended. This unit is not standardized and can vary slightly depending on the individual, but it is generally considered to be about 18 to 24 inches (approximately 45 to 60 centimeters).
