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 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ 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 or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation 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 colocation provider'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 colocation 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 or colocation provider (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 or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests 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 17:28, 10 March 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.

'''Viratnagar''' previously known as '''Bairat''' ([[International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration|IAST]]: ((transliteration|raj|Bairāṭ))) or '''Bairath''' ([[International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration|IAST]]: ((transliteration|raj|Bairāṭh))) is a town in [[Kotputli-Behror district]] of [[Rajasthan]], [[India]].

==History==

===Ancient era===

According to [[Huen Tsang]], visitor to China, [[Tonk district|Tonk]] was under Bairath State or Viratnagar previously known as ''Bairat'' or ''Bairath''.

The present-day site of Bairat corresponds to the ancient city of Virāṭanagara, which was the capital of the [[Iron Age in India|Iron Age]] [[Matsya (tribe)|Matsya kingdom]] (c. 1400-c. 350 BC), which was one of the ''solasa'' (sixteen) [[Mahajanapadas]] (great kingdoms) according to the 6th BCE Buddhist text ''Anguttara Nikaya''. Matsya kingdom had [[Kuru Kingdom|Kuru]] and [[Surasena]] mahajanapadas to its north and east respectively.<ref name="Malik">((Cite book |last=Malik |first=Dr Malti |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bMg-DAAAQBAJ&pg=PA12 |title=History of India |date=2016 |publisher=New Saraswati House India Pvt Ltd |isbn=978-81-7335-498-4 |pages=52–53 |language=en))</ref><ref name="r2">((cite web|url=http://rajassembly.nic.in/raj-integration.htm|title=Integration of Rajasthan|publisher=Rajasthan Legislative Assembly website|access-date=2009-06-04))</ref>

===Medieval era===

Bairat was a part of the [[Mauryan Empire]]. The ruins of the ''Bijak-ki-pahadi'' ([[Bairat Temple]]), a [[Buddhist]] [[Chaitya]] (chapel) from the 3rd century BCE located in Bairat, are the oldest free-standing Buddhist structures in India.<ref>Viratnagar in archives & archaeology: India's perennial city, Sī. Ela Śarmā, Malti Prakashan, 1997</ref> The town is also home to ruins of a Buddhist [[monastery]],<ref>A Tryst with History at Viratnagar, Florine Roche, 3 December 2012, http://www.daijiworld.com/chan/exclusive_arch.asp?ex_id=1968</ref> a wood and timber shrine, and two rock-cut edicts ([[:Commons:Category:Ashoka Minor Rock Edict, Bairat|Bairat Edict]] and [[:Commons:Category:Ashoka Minor Rock Edict, Bhabru|Bhabru Edict]]) from Emperor [[Ashoka]]; these date from the Mauryan period (circa 250 BCE). However, [[Akhnoor]], a town in the union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] is also considered by many as the ancient Virat Nagar.<ref>((cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/akhnoor-caught-in-a-time-warp/article5007275.ece | title=Akhnoor: Caught in a time warp | date=10 August 2013 | first=Sarita | last=Brara | newspaper=The Hindu | access-date=29 July 2018 ))</ref><ref>[http://www.akhnoor.nic.in/ Official Web Site of Akhnoor Sub-Division (J&K)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><!--Please see under the "Akhnoor - The unexplored tourism destination" section on the official site of Akhnoor -->

===Early modern era===

The town has a number of [[Mughal architecture|Mughal]] structures, including a [[Chhatri]] (cenotaph) with some of the earliest surviving murals in Rajasthan, and a lodge where the Mughal emperor [[Akbar]] hunted and stayed overnight on his yearly pilgrimage to [[Ajmer]].<ref>The Early Rajput Murals of Bairāt (c. AD 1587) H. Goetz,  Ars Orientalis Vol. 1, (1954), pp. 113-118</ref>

==Geography==
Bairat is located at ((Coord|27.45|N|76.18|E|)).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/24/Bairat.html |title=Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Bairat |publisher=Fallingrain.com |access-date=2012-06-05))</ref> It has an average elevation of ((convert|430|m|ft|abbr=on)).
