Importance of Vastu while constructing the home
Importance of Vastu while constructing the home
These days many people want a Vastu-compliant home.
Vastu is the
science and art of direction.
It combines all
the five elements of nature: air, water, earth, space, and fire and balances
them with the man and materials of the house.
At the most
basic level, it is about obtaining balance; a balance which is in the house you
inhabit is reflected in your life.
The house we
live in impacts our mental and physical health, thus through Vastu, we create a
balance.
As we have discussed previously, Vastu originated in different parts of India because of the local considerations and it is something that should be respected.

That being said
there are a few general aspects of houses and buildings which are covered in
this article.
Entrance
As per Vastu, the North or East direction is the best for the entrance door.
This methodology
is followed mostly in northern India.
In a few places in
the south, the most auspicious direction is considered to be the north-eastern
and southern directions.
Go with the direction which gives you the best orientation as per your needs.
Also, it is
advised that the door should be made of wood.
This is probably
because of the weather conditions in India.
Don’t keep the
shoe rack near the door.
The entrance
should be well lit and it should be free of clutter.
This is
extremely important in case there is a need for sudden evacuation.
Bedroom
It is said the
bedroom should get sufficient natural light during the day.
Air circulation
in the room should be good.
The bedroom
should lie in the southwest direction, as this is the predominant direction of
the wind for the most part and the bed shouldn’t be in the corner or attached
to the wall.
The bedroom
should have a pleasant smell. Avoid having windchimes over your head.
The kitchen
The kitchen needs to be in perfect balance because the two opposite forces of nature, fire, and water, exist here.
The stove and the sink shouldn’t be in one line and they should be as far away from each other as
possible.
Keep in mind the
kitchen working triangle.
It is
recommended that kitchen be built in the south-eastern corner, this is because
it is the leeward direction.
Plants
You can place money plants indoors, this is believed to bring in wealth and prosperity.
Placing small
Bamboo plants are also good, as per Vastu.
Plants in the east part of the house prove good for healthier relationships. Also, natural
green plants in the bathroom help in reducing negativity.
Paintings
Painting of green fields, fish, moving water is good for the home.
Apart from that, placing a painting of the road in the northeast portion of the home leads to good vision and planning.
Having
a family portrait in a golden frame in the southeast part of the home leads to
healthier family binds and placing a painting of the rising sun helps in the east
direction helps in maintaining good social relationships. Finally, red horses
in the south are good for financial prosperity.
These were some of the general considerations of Vastu for homes.
It would be
recommended that the architectural plan be paid good attention, the Vastu
points shouldn’t override the design because the conditions that the ancient science
of Vastu was created for are no longer prevalent today, this one would be
better off concentrating on attaining the balance, the basic principle on which
Vastu is made rather than getting caught up in specifics.
The design and
planning of a structure are done after taking into account the conditions of the
location and there it automatically becomes Vastu compliant.
Vastu is the science and art of direction.
