Wada is a type of dwelling found in Maharashtra, western India. Wada is a Marathi word for denoting a large mansion. The term, in all probability, is derived from the Sanskrit word Vata, meaning a plot or a piece of land meant for a house. Over time it came to denote the house built on that plot. Wadi, an extended meaning of wada, denotes a cluster of huts.[1] Typically, wada refers to a house with courtyards found in Maharashtra and surrounding regions in India.
