Vastu Shastra Basics
Unlock the secrets of Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture and spatial harmony. Learn how to create balanced and positive living and working spaces.

Vastu Shastra, originating from ancient Vedic scriptures like the Sthapatya Veda, is the traditional Indian system of architecture. It emphasizes designing buildings in harmony with natural laws and cosmic energies to promote well-being, prosperity, and spiritual growth for the inhabitants. Its principles are based on the interplay of directions, the five elements, and subtle energy fields.

Vastu integrates the five fundamental elements of nature. Balancing these elements in their respective zones is crucial for a harmonious environment.
