<p>49.205.51.55: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}}<br /> {{Refimprove|date=June 2009}}<br /> <br /> A '''Vatara''' ({{lang-kn|ವಠಾರ}}) is a type of housing, similar to an [[apartment complex]], typically found in urban [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. Vataras usually are single floor or have two stories, with a row of homes on each floor. They usually have a common corridor in the middle. They are usually occupied by [[middle-class]] families and students and typically have a single owner, who may or may not live in the same vatara. Akin to the chawls of Mumbai, it is a typology that has emerged as a cost-effective form of multiple housing. <br /> <br /> ==In popular culture==<br /> Life in vataras is portrayed in some [[Kannada language|Kannada]] films, e.g. ''[[Ganeshana Maduve]]'' directed by [[Phani Ramachandra]]. A popular TV serial in Kannada called ''Vatara'' (featuring the popular actor [[Ganesh (actor)|''&quot;Comedy Time&quot;'' Ganesh]]) portrayed life in a vatara in [[Bangalore]].<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Karnataka}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Buildings and structures in Karnataka]]<br /> [[Category:House types]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{India-struct-stub}}</div>
