You Should Know Before Buying Vastu Compliant House

The ancient science of Indian architecture, Vastu Shastra places great emphasis in choosing the right direction of the house, the size of the plot, air and ventilation to help the residents live a happy, healthy and prosperous life. Although most Indians still look for Vastu-compliant homes, the truth is that not all apartments follow the principles of Vastu Shastra. Rather, real estate developers in India only focus on optimal use of space. But many builders promise to provide architectural-friendly flats. Well, your decision to buy a house should not be influenced by attractive advertisements by real estate developers. Rather, you should flat check whether everything is designed perfectly. In this blog, we've shared some excellent tips to help you test whether a flat is Vastu-compliant.

1) Check the entrance or Main door.

By the way, most people think that the north-eastern entrance is the best, but there are actually 32 entrances in Vastu Shastra. And each direction has its own importance. East, west and north-facing entrances are always good. But south facing doors can either be extremely beneficial for housework.

· The main gate should not be in the southwest, northwest and southeast.

· While most Vastu experts suggest that northeast entrance is most beneficial.

· Others say that it can be extremely dangerous in some cases.

· The main gate should not be placed directly in front of the lift or stairway.

2) Kitchen Location.

· The kitchen should be in the right direction to balance the fire element of the house. Fire signifies wealth and cash flow.

· Having a kitchen in the north-east and south-west areas should be avoided.

· Vastu Shastra suggests that the kitchen should be kept in the south-east direction. However, this may not always be possible in modern homes. In such a case, make sure that the gas burner is in the south, west or northwest corner of the flat. And, while cooking, you should face east or north.

· The kitchen should not have black or blue tiles, floors or slabs. And, avoid granite under the gas burner. A marble slab is highly recommended.

· The cabinet should be placed on the southern wall.

3) The rooms.

· The master bedroom should be in the southwestern direction of the flat. And, the children's room should be in the east or north direction.

· The living room should be either in the east area or central area of ​​the house.

· There should be no bedroom between the east and south-east area of ​​the house as it may affect the health of family members.

· Bedrooms on the southern and western side are to be used by sons and are perfect for daughters who are on the northwest side.

4) Toilet or Bathroom.

· Modern homes have one or more toilets, which are connected to a bedroom or living room. Ideally, the washroom should be in the northwest direction. And, toilets in the north, north-east, south-east, and south-west directions are considered inauspicious.

· The bathroom or toilet door should not be faced in the kitchen.

General points you should know when purchasing property:-

· The land on which your apartment is built must be either rectangular or square in shape. Irregular shaped plots are considered inauspicious.

· There should be no pond near the south and west direction from the house. You should check if there is any swimming pool in these directions of your flat.

· Avoid balconies or courtyards in the western or southern direction.

· Apartments in red, black or sky colors should be avoided as these colors attract negative energy.

· The puja room should be either in the northern or eastern direction.

· According to the guidelines of Vastu Shastra, the ladder should not be in the north-east corner as it troubles the residents.

· The total number of doors and windows should be 2,4, 6 etc.

· All the doors of the flat should open inwards.
