Select a room type and its compass direction to get the Vastu ruling for that zone — deity, element, planet, ideal use, and practical remedies.

Vastu Shastra is the Indian science of architecture and placement. It maps the eight directions to the five elements and their ruling energies, then judges how well each room sits in its zone. This checker gives the ruling for any room-and-direction pairing, plus remedies when the fit is off.
Few homes are perfect, and Vastu is corrective rather than absolute. Where a room falls in a less ideal zone, the tradition offers remedies — colour, placement and the five elements (panchabhutas) — to rebalance it. Start with the Vastu overview and the main entrance, which sets the energy for the whole home.
Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of architecture and spatial arrangement that aligns a building's layout with the eight directions and five elements to support wellbeing.
The south-east (Agneya), the zone of fire, is the classic placement for a kitchen, with the cook ideally facing east while cooking.
The north-east (Ishanya) is governed by water and considered the most sacred zone. It is kept light, clean and open, and favoured for a prayer or meditation space.
Vastu is corrective. When a room sits in a less favourable zone, remedies using colour, placement, light and the five elements are used to rebalance it rather than rebuild.
A reasonably accurate facing direction is enough for room-level guidance. For whole-home analysis a precise compass (or phone compass) reading from the centre of the home is preferred.
