You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Etymology ==
''Veranda'', as used in the United Kingdom and France, was brought by the British from India (((lang-hi|बरामदा))). While the exact origin of the word is unknown, scholars suggest that the word originated in India and may have first been adopted by [[Portuguese Empire|Portugal]]'s relations with India and spread the word from there.<ref>((Cite book |last1=Burnell |first1=A.

== Architecture styles notable for verandas ==
===Australia===
[[File:Verandah of The Hollow.jpg|thumb|Winifred Rawson tending her son on the veranda of The Hollow, near Mackay, Queensland, ~1873]]
[[File:Listed dwelling house. Veranda. - 13 Molnár Street, Érd, Hungary.JPG|thumb|A heritage listed building in Hungary]]
The veranda has featured quite prominently in [[Australia]]n vernacular architecture and first became widespread in colonial buildings during the 1850s.  The Victorian Filigree architecture style is used by residential (particularly [[terraced houses in Australia]] and New Zealand) and commercial buildings (particularly [[hotel]]s) across Australia and features decorative screens of wrought iron, cast iron "lace" or wood fretwork.  The [[Queenslander (architecture)|Queenslander]] is a style of residential construction in [[Queensland]], Australia, which is adapted to subtropical climates and characterized in part by its large verandas, which sometimes encircle the entire house.

===Brazil===
The [[Bandeirantes|bandeirista]] style house from Brazil typically has a veranda positioned to face the sunrise.<ref name="ahaau">((cite book |title=A History of Architecture and Urbanism in the Americas |last=Cardinal-Pett |first=Clare |year=2015 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1317431244 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T4n4CgAAQBAJ |access-date=30 September 2016))</ref>

===Japan===
[[File:Escapement street of Takada.jpg|thumb|Gangi-Zukuri in Takada area of [[Jōetsu, Niigata|Jōetsu City]]]]
In regions with heavy snowfall, especially [[Aomori Prefecture|Aomori]] and [[Niigata Prefecture|Niigata]] prefectures, structures called Gangi-Zukuri ([[:ja:雁木造]]) have been developed since the [[Edo period]]. For example, the total length of Gangi in [[Jōetsu, Niigata|old Takada city]] is over 16 Kilometers.<ref>[http://joetsukankonavi.jp/spot-en.php?id=199 Gangi Dori (covered walkways)] Joetsu Information Web Site</ref>

=== Poland ===
In Poland, the word "weranda" is commonly used for the unheated roofed annex to a house, without walls or with glass walls.((citation needed|date=November 2017))

===United States===
The [[Buildings and architecture of New Orleans#Creole townhouse|Creole townhouse]] in [[New Orleans|New Orleans, Louisiana]], is also noted for its prominent use of verandas. In fact, most houses constructed in the [[Southern United States]] before the advent of [[air conditioning]] were built with a covered front porch or veranda.

[[Spanish Colonial architecture]] (as well as the "Mission style" revivalist version that became popular in the Western United States in the early 1900s) commonly incorporates verandas, both on the exterior of buildings and, in cases of buildings with courtyards, along the interior walls of courtyards. In some cases, homes were constructed with every room opening into a courtyard veranda, rather than interior corridors or direct connections to other rooms.

===India===
[[File:Five Rathas at Mahabalipuram 2K22TNKAN (50).jpg|thumb|[[Bhima Ratha]] built in a form to folk-house with verandah, 6th century CE.]]
Early known examples of verandah in domestic architecture comes from [[Vastu shastra]] texts which lays out plans and describes methods to build houses, where "''Alinda''" (veranda) is common feature of domestic buildings.<ref>((cite book |last1=Chakrabarti |first1=Vibhuti |title=Indian Architectural Theory and Practice: Contemporary Uses of Vastu Vidya |date=11 January 2013 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-136-77882-7 |page=156 |language=en))</ref> 

Porches were a natural idea in India, a mostly warm, tropical country. In Gujarat the porch area is called the ''otala'' and in Hindi belt it is known as alinda. These structures are not only used to cool off, but also as a center of social life where neighbors can talk and kids play, and as a religious center where rituals and worship of the Gods can take place.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343908887|title=Traditional Pol Houses of Ahmedabad: An Overview))</ref>

In Southern India, the term ''thinnai'' is used, and these structures are very common. This area serves a religious purpose in addition to a social one, and is the center of everyday life for many.<ref>((cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/real-estate/why-we-need-the-thinnai/article65299041.ece| title=Why we need the thinnai | newspaper=The Hindu | date=22 April 2022 | last1=Mohanram | first1=Anupama ))</ref> Konkan's architecture is influenced by nature. It is sustainable and cost-effective. In Konkan traditional architecture, the veranda is called ''otti'', a semi-open space with low seating covered with a permanent roof. It serves as a transition space leading to an enclosed environment. Sometimes the sides are covered by wooden [[jali]] walls. It offers temporary resting space to house members during the afternoon and evening.

===Sri Lanka===
In Sri Lanka, verandahs original derivation was from traditional vernacular architecture and are known as ''"Pila"'' in Sinhalese, both front and rear veranda examples are also known and common feature in local vernacular architecture.<ref>((cite journal |last1=Ariyawansa |first1=R.

W. |date=1989 |title=The Vastuvidya Sastra ascribed to Manjusri (Sanskrit Text with English Translation) |publisher=Sri Satguru Publications |isbn=8170301998))</ref>

===Hong Kong===
In Hong Kong, verandas often appear on the upper floor of the first to third generations of Tong Lau (shophouses) due to a lack of space since the 19th century.
