Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian system of architecture and design that emphasizes creating harmony between people and their environment. It’s rooted in the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, and aims to balance the energies of a space to promote health, prosperity, and well-being for the occupants.

key aspects of Vastu Shastra:

• Principles: It emphasizes the flow of energy (prana) through a space, considering factors like directions, placement of rooms, shapes, and natural elements.
• Directions: Each direction is believed to have a presiding deity and specific energy. North is associated with prosperity, east with growth, south with fame, and west with progeny.
• Placement: Vastu Shastra prescribes ideal locations for rooms within a building. For example, the kitchen is typically placed in the southeast, the master bedroom in the southwest, and the puja room (prayer room) in the northeast.
