Home Vastu
What is Home Vastu Shastra?
Home Vastu is the practice of designing and organizing a house according to the principles of Vastu Shastra—the ancient Indian science of architecture. A home is more than a physical structure; it is a living energy system that affects the lives, emotions, and success of its residents. When aligned with Vastu principles, a home radiates positivity, health, harmony, and prosperity.
Rooted in the five elements—Water, Air, Fire, Earth, and Space—Home Vastu ensures that every corner of the house contributes to the overall well-being of the family. From the main entrance to the placement of bedrooms, kitchens, and prayer rooms, every detail has a direct influence on happiness, peace, and progress.
