The dharni (Nepali: धार्नि dhārni) is an obsolete unit of mass, formerly used in Nepal, of about 2½ seer. It was divided into 2 bisauli (बिसौलि), 4 boṛi (बोड़ि), or 12 pāu (पाउ). The United Nations Statistical Office gave an approximate equivalence of 2.3325 kilograms (5.142 pounds avoirdupois) in 1966.
