Vastu Shastra, traditionally known as the Indian Science of Architecture, is 5000 years old. The literal translation of the term ‘Vastu Shastra’ is ‘science of construction’ and offers a detailed version of dos and don’ts for lands and constructed buildings. People often regard it as a manuscript for bringing positivity to the home environment, increasing earning potential and ensuring good health for those who live there.
Vastu Shastra is essential to building a structure, from residential to commercial properties, and with the correct placement of the five elements (namely earth, water, air, fire, and space), owners can achieve prosperity and happiness. Also, directions play a vital role in the science of architecture. The teachings suggest if we respect and idolize the God of Eight directions (North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, South-West, North-West), we bring in success, health and prosperity.
