What ever construction
to be done on the land,
be it a residential house, or
an industrial organisation, or
a public institution, temple etc.,
in each case it is auspicious and beneficial
to keep the following points in mind
while purchasing a plot of land or constructing
a building.
1. First
of all the direction
and shape of the plot has to be
considered well. A construction on quadrangular,
rectangular or square plot is beneficial
and
good from all aspects.
2. Big plot
fetches prosperity, but it should
not be having cleavage
or cracks any where.
3. Triangular
shaped plot should
not be selected for constructing
a building.
It is inauspicious.
4. A
small narrow plot in between two big plots
is also not good,
because owner of the building on such
plot always remains in troubles.
5. If
the length of the plot in east-west direction
is more than that in north-south direction,
it is better.
6. If
there is more open vacant space in south
than in north, it will lead
to destruction and downfall whether
it is in the house or a industry, or in
a temple or a hut.
7. It
is auspicious if there is more
open space in the east than in
the west; and more open space in the north
than in the south.
8. All
the heavy and permanent items should
be placed in the south-west corner
of the building or plot.
9. While
sleeping head should be kept in the east
or south. Never
sleep with feet towards south or
east.
10. Water
tanks on the roof in the south-west direction
are auspicious. These should never be
placed in north or north-east (eeshanya)
corner.
11. Pooja
room is always best in the north-east
corner or near it.
12. Kitchen
is always auspicious and best in the south-east
(Agney) corner, or adjacent to it.
13. Open
space should be kept all around
the building.
14. Building
should be constructed such that it is
higher in the south-west
and lower in the north-east. Walls should
also be made in this manner.
15. Underground
water tank (for storage of water)
well, hand-pump, boring etc. should be
built in north-east direction only. Height
of these water bodies should never be
above the plinth level of the main building.
16. As
far as possible there should be only one
main door of the house, which should be
adorned with auspicious symbols.
17. All
the doors and
windows should be of the same height
upper edges being in the same straight
line.
18. There
should not be a door above a door. This
principle does not apply on multistorey
buildings. Height of the door on upper
floor should be kept less than that on
the lower floor.
19. Family
life will be more and more happy
if more heavy items are placed in the
rooms on the south-west and south-sides.
20. The
more lighter (weightless) items are there
in the north, north-east and north-west
directions, the more happier will be the
life of the family in the house.
21. It
is better if there are no tall trees in
the east. Trees
in the west are good.
22. In
the same line, the plot having road on
the east-north directions is better to
be selected.
23. 'Garbh'
means the space or width in between two
walls.
24. The essence
of Vaastu Shastra is actually to
make the house in total conformity with
the utilisation of five basic materials,
viz, earth, water, air, fire, space for
specific functions in the directions of
places determined for the same.
For example,
south-east corner is best for fire (kitchen
etc.) North-West direction for air and
the North-East direction for attaining
the bliss for divine favour.
25. Specially,
while constructing a house due care is
to be taken regarding position of doors,
windows, Chulha (fire, burner), well,
bath room, bed room, toilet (latrine)
and these should be constructed strictly
in the places allotted as per Vaastu principles.
26. If
there is a well or any other pit in the
south-east, south-west or north-west direction,
there will always be quarrels in the family
and there will be no peace.
27. West
portion of the land should be raised and
there should be slope towards the east,
which is auspicious.
28. Four
sided (square) shaped plot
of land is considered to be the
best as per Vaastu Shastra. All the architects
(Vaastu Shastris) have this opinion.
29. Almirahs,
Sofa Set, Table and other heavy
items which can be placed permanently
at a place, are auspicious if placed in
the South-West corner or near it in the
west. 30. A temple can have doors on all
the four sides.
30. Divide
the length of the wall, on the side in
which main door is to kept, in nine equal
parts; then leaving 5 parts on the right
and 3 parts on the left, door should be
constructed in the remaining one part
or in the 7th part.
31. If
living in a newly built house is stared
without worshipping Vaastu, several troubles
and difficulties arise in the family.
Therefore Vaastu Poojan is must.
32. For
interior decoration of the house, pictures
and scenes of war and battles, idols/statues
of demons, pictures of pig (boar), leopard,
tiger, jackal, serpent, eagle, owl, pigeon,
hawk, crow, crane etc. are not auspicious.
These should not be put on the walls in
the house for decoration.
33. Flow
of water and its outlet in the
directions other than east, north-west,
north-east and north is inauspicious and
causes troubles.
34. Toilet
(Latrine) is auspicious if constructed
in north-west corner. If necessary or
in case of lack of space it may be constructed
in any direction, but the seat in the
toilet should be such that when using
the toilet one should face towards south
or north only.
35. Only
new wood
should be used throughout in the construction
of a house, there remains no default relating
to Vaastu. At the most two or three types
of wood may be used.
36. If
only one kind
of wood is used throughout in the
construction of a house, there remains
no default relating to Vaastu. At the
most two or three types of wood may be
use.
37. It
is not auspicious to construct any thing
towards the south or west of the Vaastu
zone. Construction should be done towards

is to be made, it should be extended in
all the sides. Extension only in one side

and removed, and fresh pure earth from
elsewhere is filled in it, there remains
no defect of Shalya in the land.
