Der Candy (sprich: Kändi) war ein Gewichtsmaß in Travancore, in Vorderindien im heutigen Bundesstaat Kerala, einer Provinz der ehemaligen Präsidentschaft Madras. Der Unterschied des Maßes wurde durch die verschiedenen Pfundmaße Rattel und Putur bestimmt. * 1 Candy = 30 Tulama = 600 Putur/Pfund = 271 Kilogramm * 1 Candy = 20 Maund/Mahnd = 500 Rattel/Pfund = 227 Kilogramm (de) 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. The candy was generally one of the largest (if not the largest) unit in a given system of measurement. The name is thought to be derived from the Sanskrit खण्डन (root खुड्) khaṇḍ, "to divide, break into pieces", which has also been suggested as the root of the term (sugar-)candy. The word was adopted into several South Asian languages before the compilation of dictionaries, presumably through trade as several Dravidian languages have local synonyms: for example ఖండి kaṇḍi and పుట్టి puṭṭi in Telugu.
