Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science of architecture and construction that aims to promote positive energy and balance in buildings and structures.

When it comes to selecting a plot for construction, here are some key principles of Vastu to consider:

1) Plot Selection

• The best shape is square.
• Rectangle is also excellent provided the length is not more than 1.5 times the width.

• Where the plot is neither square nor rectangular, the following requirements should be ensured.

1. Angle at D must be a right angle.
2. Angles at A and C should not be less than a right angle.
3. Angle at B should not exceed a right angle.

• Where the aforesaid requirements are not obtainable, remedial measures are to be adopted.
• This is done by cutting off the interference and giving it away or keeping it off the corrected boundary through barbed wire fencing.
• The rejected area can be made a receptacle for dumping garden refuse etc. to make compost.
• This correction is a MUST before any construction activity is taken up.
• Elevated South – Ensures good health and prosperity
• Elevated West – Ensures name, fame and good children
