A fact from Vihara appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 22 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.
The content of Vihara (monastery) was merged into Vihara. That page now redirects here. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

Proposed merger with Vihara (monastery) [edit]

This article and "Vihara (monastery)" seem to cover the same topic; both describe a type of Buddhist monastery found primarily in S and SE Asia. The page for "Vihara" is much more comprehensive than that of "Vihara (monastery)", but "Vihara (monastery)" does not seem to add anything that could not be added to "Vihara". However, there is some additional information under "Vihara (monastery)" along with some nice images, so a merger is more appropriate than a deletion.

Definitely, this is a no brainer. It seems to be just carelessness that led to the creation of the other page. Sylvain1972 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

HELP PLEASE! The etymology and definition "It originally meant 'a secluded place in which to walk', and referred to 'dwellings' or 'refuges' used by wandering monks during the rainy season" need citation. Where did you get this definition from? Thank you! Igor 18:24, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
