Common questions
Vastu Shastra — frequently asked
QWhat is Vastu Shastra? — Vastu Shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture and spatial arrangement. It prescribes the placement of rooms, doors, windows, and objects according to the five elements (Panchabhutas) and the eight directions to create spaces that promote health, prosperity, and harmony.
QWhich direction is best for the main entrance? — East is the most auspicious direction for the main entrance as it faces the rising sun, governed by Indra. North (Kubera's direction) is equally favourable. Both invite prosperity, health, and clarity into the home.
QCan Vastu be corrected without demolition? — Yes. Many Vastu defects can be corrected without structural changes using colour adjustments, mirrors, crystal pyramids, salt bowls, plants, and specific object placements. These non-structural remedies are widely recommended in contemporary Vastu practice when relocation or rebuilding is not possible.
