Designing a home is not only about elevation and aesthetics — it is about directional energy balance. Our Vastu Check Tool evaluates your architectural layout based on structured Vastu principles derived from the classical concept of the Vastu Purusha Mandala and directional zoning.
This is not a generic checklist. It is a rule-based directional audit system that evaluates each space scientifically and practically.
This is a basic directional check. A complete Vastu audit involves 'Pada' calculations and magnetic slope analysis.
The house is divided into 8 cardinal directions + center (Brahmasthan). Each direction governs specific life aspects and energy flows:
| Direction | Element | Governs | Ideal Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| North-East (Ishanya) | Water | Spirituality, Growth | Pooja, Meditation, Open Space |
| East | Air | Health, Social Life | Living Room, Entrance |
| South-East | Fire | Energy, Cooking | Kitchen |
| South | Fire/Earth | Strength, Stability | Staircase, Storage |
| South-West | Earth | Stability, Finance | Master Bedroom |
| West | Water | Gains, Education | Dining, Study |
| North-West | Air | Movement, Travel | Guest Bedroom |
| North | Wealth | Opportunities | Living, Office |
| Center (Brahmasthan) | Space | Energy Core | Open Area, Courtyard |
The primary energy entry point. Placement decides the 'gait' of the house.
The tool calculates entrance degrees using compass alignment and flags inauspicious segments.
The source of health and metabolic energy. Fire element must be balanced.
Cooking should face East. Sink and stove should not be adjacent (Fire + Water clash).
The zone of stability and control in the family hierarchy.
Sleeping head direction: South (Best), East (Good). Never North.
The most sacred zone. Must be light, open, and uncluttered.
Idols should face West or East. This zone governs the mind and clarity.
Zones of disposal and elimination. If misplaced, they drain wealth.
Our tool checks toilet seat direction and drain slope alignment.
Ideal: South, West, or South-West.
Rotation: Must rotate clockwise while ascending.
Avoid placing in North-East or the exact Center of the house.
Underground: North-East (Best), North, East.
Overhead: South-West or West only.
Overhead tanks in North-East cause severe financial and health imbalance.
Ideal Shape: Square or Rectangle (longer North-South preferred).
Slope: Should slope from South-West to North-East.
Avoid triangular plots or cuts in the North-East corner.
Duplex: Master bedroom ideally on the upper South-West floor.
Stacking: Ensure toilets don't stack above sacred zones like Pooja or Kitchen.
Consistency in staircase and tank alignment across all levels is mandatory.
The center of the house must be kept clear. No toilets, no staircases, and no heavy loads. Ideally, this should be open or a double-height space to allow energy circulation.
We understand modern urban constraints (30x40, 40x60 plots, high-rises). Our Vastu system is a professional review — not blind superstition. We prioritize structural feasibility.
0-100 scoring system based on structural impact.
Visual zoning of compliant vs non-compliant areas.
Classifier for minor, moderate and major defects.
Before you pour concrete, verify your direction. A small correction in the plan stage can prevent lifetime dissatisfaction.
In most Indian cities, 'Stilt Parking' is excluded from FSI, allowing you to build an extra floor of living space.
A higher wall-to-floor ratio (complex shapes) increases your cost but maintains the same built-up area.
Check the 'Coverage' rule—it defines the maximum ground area you can build on (usually 60-75% of the plot).
Include the area of balconies in your built-up calculation as they cost ~80% of the internal room cost to build.
For accurate structural budgeting, always use the built-up area, not the carpet area.
