The candy or candee (Marathi: खंडी, khaṇḍī; Tamil: கண்டி, kaṇṭi; Malayalam: കണ്ഡി, kaṇḍi, കണ്ടി, kaṇṭi), also known as the maunee, was a traditional South Asian unit of mass, equal to 20 maunds and roughly equivalent to 500 pounds avoirdupois (227 kilograms). It was most used in southern India, to the south of Akbar's empire, but has been recorded elsewhere in South Asia. In Marathi, the same word was also used for a unit of area of 120 bighas (25 hectares, very approximately), and it is also recorded as a unit of dry volume.
