The vori or tola is an old subcontinental weight, fixed in British times at 180 grains, about 11.664 g. The roti comes from the rosary-pea seed once used as a jeweller’s weight, and the ana follows the old money system: 16 ana to a rupee, 16 ana to a vori.
Some regions of India use a slightly different roti (0.12 g instead of 0.1215 g). Shops in Bangladesh generally use the values shown here.
