Vaastu
Home is a place where you can spend most of your
life time. The science of Vaasthu Shastra aims to help you attain peace and
satisfaction regarding different aspects of your home including- plot,
space, road, color, doors and windows and interiors. It is believed that
construction of house as per Vaastu Shastra leads to a happy and prosperous
life. We, at India Real Estate Agency make sure that our residential,
commercial and industrial properties are in accord with the Vaastu
guidelines.
Our agents are spread all over the nation and they are aware of the Vaastu
concerns that people show before buying properties or going for rent.
Principles of Vaastu are derived from Vaastu Purush Mandala. This Mandala is
a grid of 64 squares dedicated to different Gods. Vaastu Purusha is present
in each and every plot whether it is big or small. We will explain these
facts once you plan to buy a property and deal with us.
According to Vaastu Shastra, after we have a selected a plot/ house we have
to consider its Vaastu Purusha Mandala. We check it prior to finalizing the
deal with the clients and handling over to another party. Just like the
earth with its magnetic field is centered to its core, we make sure that
plot should have everything epic centered to it, in the concept of Vaastu
Purush Mandala. You should consider the plot having a mystic power that
agrees with the Vaastu.
These days, Vaastu Shastra is looked upon as a highly evolved building
philosophy in which directions and shapes are the most vital aspects of
designing. The four directions of the plot are decided, completely based on
the epic center of the plot. We take care of each and every aspect of Vaastu
that people are concerned with before making transactions. Here is how we go
ahead with the concept of Vaastu and determine the property according to it
Rules to build a home on the basis of Vaastu Shastra
Plot of the house
Shapes: The ideal plot shape
is symmetrical and this has always been one of our major concerns in
property dealing. Shapes like circular, hexagonal, rectangular and square is
beneficial and considered as good Vaastu dimensions. Other asymmetrical
shapes are regarded as inauspicious. The slope of the plot must be to the
north or east. Then the rays of the rising sun should directly fall in the
plot or the house. The basis of considering the slope to the east is the
direct suns rays.
Direction: It is beneficial if each side of plot is
facing exactly to the north direction, south direction, east direction and
west direction.
Space : We make sure that the buildings are located on
the plot so as to leave more open space in the east than in the west; and
more open space in the north than in the south. If these directions are not
confirmed than it is considered that leads to damage. Moreover, some open
space around the building always adds to a pleasant living.
Roads around the plot : A square piece of plot
surrounded by roads on each side is considered very auspicious and it is
also good if a road runs alongside the plot and ends at the northeast
corner. Road ending on any other part of the plot is not regarded as a good
sign.

Position of the rooms
Position of the rooms is a very important aspect in
the philosophy of Vaastu and many people are meticulous about the directions
of particular rooms, verandas, etc. Generally if a straight line is drawn
between the north west corner and the south east corner, one side should be
allotted for the cooking , dining and prayer and the opposite side should be
allotted for the bedrooms, study room, store room.
Different rooms should have a definite direction that will help you lead
happy and prosperous life. The rooms and the respective Vaastu are-
- Verandah should be in the east side of the room
- Bedrooms, study room, store room and safety locker could be anywhere
in the space from the north west corner, west, south till the south east
corner.
- Bedroom should be in the south west or south corner of the room. If
bedroom is in the south east direction.
- Guest room or drawing room should be in the north west corner.
Granary, children's bedroom, washing place, septic tank should ideally
be in north-west direction.
- Study Room is ideal in the north west corner. People should face East
while reading/studying.
- Toilets should be in north-west but should not be situated in the
extreme corners. According to Vaastu, toilets and bathroom should be
situated separately. No toilets should be attached to the dining room.
- Kitchen, dining room and prayer room could be anywhere in the space
from the north west corner to the south east corner. Kitchen should
ideally be located in the east or south-east.
- Living Room should be in east, north & northeast directions.
- Staircase should be in west or north. It is good for both health and
wealth.
- The main gate of the house must be from the east or west.

Doors and Windows
When people face problems in their life, many of
them hold Vaastu responsible for it. Therefore, we pay special concern to
the position and direction of doors and windows. The main door of the house
should be larger than the other doors in the house. There should not be two
doors opposite each other.
The even number of doors and windows in a house is regarded as a auspicious
combination. It is better to have all the doors and windows of the same
height. The door on upper floor should be shorter than that on the lower
floor.
