Vastu Tips for Your New Home: Essential Guidelines for Buying Property
Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture, continues to influence property buying decisions in India. Here are essential Vastu tips for your new home.
Plot Selection
Square or rectangular plots are considered most auspicious. Plots sloping towards the north or east are ideal. Avoid triangular or irregular shapes.
Main Entrance
The main door should face north, east, or north-east for positive energy flow. Avoid south-west or south-facing entrances. The entrance should be larger than other doors.
Room Placement
Living room: North or east. Kitchen: South-east (Agni corner). Master bedroom: South-west. Children's room: West or north-west. Pooja room: North-east. Stairs: South, west, or south-west.
Vastu for Apartments
For apartments, the plot vastu applies to the entire building. Within your unit, the kitchen in the south-east and the master bedroom in the south-west corner are key.
Remedies for Vastu Defects
Not every home can be perfectly Vastu-compliant. Mirror placements, colour schemes, and specific yantras can mitigate many common defects.
