The 5 Vastu Pillars for New Home Construction
By Kasun 1 Min Read
Building a home is more than just stacking bricks; it’s about creating a vessel for your family’s energy. In Vedic architecture, the Vastu Purusha Mandala serves as the metaphysical plan for your space.
1. The Power of the Northeast (Ishanya)
The Northeast is the most sacred direction. When building, ensure this area remains light, open, and clean. It is the ideal location for a prayer room or a meditative space.
2. The Kitchen Placement
The Southeast (Agni) is governed by the fire element. Placing your kitchen here ensures the health and vitality of the inhabitants.
3. The Master Bedroom
For stability and leadership within the home, the Southwest corner (Nairutya) should be reserved for the head of the family.
