Vastu
Vastu Shastra is the traditional Indian science of space and direction. It looks at how the layout of a home or workplace relates to the five elements and the eight directions.

What Vastu looks at
A Vastu consultant studies the orientation of a building, the position of the entrance, and where rooms such as the kitchen, bedrooms, puja room and toilets are placed. Each direction is associated with an element and an area of life, and Vastu aims to bring the layout into balance with them.
What people consult a Vastu expert for
- Checking a home, flat or plot before buying or building
- Planning the layout of a new home or office
- Finding the cause when a space feels unsettled
- Arranging a workplace or shop for a business
- Suggesting remedies for an existing space
How a consultation usually works
You share a floor plan with the directions marked, or photographs of the space, and your concerns. Some consultants visit in person; many work from plans and a video walkthrough. Most suggest remedies that do not need construction — changes in placement, colours, objects or use of a room.
Common questions
Do Vastu remedies need demolition?
Usually not. Most consultants suggest changes in placement, colours, objects or the use of a room, and structural change only as a last resort.
Can Vastu be done for a rented home?
Yes. A consultant can suggest remedies that need no permanent changes, suitable for a rented home.
