Eight directions
The Vastu compass
Each direction is governed by a deity, element, and planetary ruler. The 45-deity Vastu Purusha Mandala maps the entire plot.
Five elements
Pancha Bhutas
Every direction, material, and room is governed by one of the five great elements. Vastu is the science of balancing them in built space.
Rooms & zones
Room by room
Specific guidance for each room — where to place it, how to orient it, and what to avoid.
Main Entrance
The most important Vastu decision in any home.
DoorBedroom
SW for master bedroom. Head position while sleeping matters.
RoomKitchen
SE (Agni corner) is ideal. Cook facing east.
RoomLiving Room
N or NE — light, open, no heavy furniture in NE.
RoomPooja Room
NE is the sacred zone — ideal for prayer and meditation.
RoomStudy Room
NE, N, or E — face east while studying.
RoomBathroom
NW or W — never NE or SW.
RoomBrahmasthan
The center of the plot — the most violated rule in modern construction.
ZoneCore concepts
The theory
Understanding why Vastu works the way it does — the cosmological framework behind the room-by-room rules.
Vastu Purusha Mandala
The 8×8 or 9×9 grid that governs every Vastu layout. 45 deities occupy different zones — the cosmic being embedded in every plot.
Pancha Bhutas
The five great elements as the philosophical foundation — not the same as Chinese Five Elements. How Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space map to design.
Plot Selection
Before any construction — shape, slope, soil quality, road orientation. The Garbhanyasa ritual and why a square plot is considered ideal.
Vastu Remedies
What actually works vs what is commercial nonsense — pyramids, mirrors, crystals, yantras, colours, and salt. An honest assessment.
Vastu for Office
Owner in SW, cash box in N, reception in E/NE, MD facing N or E — workplace Vastu principles.
Colours in Vastu
Directional colour theory — not merely aesthetic. Each direction has an elemental colour. Psychological and energetic implications.
