Vastu Shastra

Vastu Shastra is the traditional Indian knowledge of planning buildings in harmony with directions, the five elements, and daily human life. From plot selection to room placement and Griha Pravesh, it offers a complete language for creating supportive homes and workplaces.

What Vastu Shastra Covers

Vastu joins architecture, ritual, and lived routine. It begins with orientation and entrance, then places kitchen, bedrooms, toilets, and sacred corners so the building supports health, prosperity, and peace.

  • Plot shape, slope, and main gate orientation.
  • Room hierarchy: SW stability, SE fire, NE purity, NW movement.
  • Five elements balanced through water, fire, air, earth, and open space.
  • Remedies and rituals when reconstruction is limited.
