23 1/2 inch blade and not cut down. The pommel is weighted and thus gives the sword a good balance in the hand.

In an Indian context (given that this is indeed an indian sword
), this would best be referred to as a
Tegha. Based on it's size though, it would likely function similar to a cutlass, so technically that term would work too, albeit it wouldn't be a native term.
