VAASTU PLAN FOR HOUSE.

Once the Project Brief has been prepared and you have a rough idea of your preferences in the choice of materials, the Interiors, and the Exteriors, it is time to turn your thoughts to the plan of the House. Many people are unsure as to how the rooms should be laid out (the Plan).

So, an easy way to start in this direction is to refer to the Vaastu Plan called the Vaastu Purusha Mandala. This Plan shows the ideal positions of the rooms in a house, based on the Vaastu Mandala grid of 3X3.

Vaastu Shastra literally translated means the ’Science of Buildings’. It is an ancient Indian ‘Architectural Science’ that deals with inter-related subjects like Geography, Geology, Geometry, Astrology, Philosophy, factors influencing a site such as Topography, Orientation, Surrounding structures, Roads, Sun, Earth’s magnetic field, etc. and lays down guidelines for the design and construction of a house'.

Here is a summary of the basics of the Vaastu Purusha Mandala, known as the Vaastu Plan.

The Main Entrance, Car parking is preferably in the North-East.

1. Pooja room should ideally be in the North-East.
2. The Living room can be in the North or the East.
3. The Dining room can be in the West or the North-West.
4. Kitchen and Storerooms should preferably be in the South- East. The second option is in the North-West.
5. Master bedroom should be in the South-West.
6. The older child's/daughter's bedroom should be in the North-West and the other children's bedrooms in the South or the West.
7. The Guest bedroom can be in the North-West or the East.
The Study rooms may be in the East, West or the North-West.
8. The toilets should be in the West or the North-West and should be avoided in the North-East.
9. The Sump can be in the North-East.
10. The centre can ideally accommodate a courtyard or the extension of the Living room or the Dining room.
It is preferable to have the bedrooms in the corners as this allows for good cross-ventilation.

A house can never be 100% Vaastu complaint because of the limitations due to Site orientation, adjacent buildings, etc. So though the above-mentioned positions are the ideal positions for the different rooms according to Vaastu, your plan may have to be tailored according to the feasibility.
