Vastu is a concept that has been developed over time and is still in use today. The shastra was used to build the home based on where the sun directed heat and light, as well as the positioning of the moon and the earth’s magnetic fields. As we all know, there was no technology between 6000 BC and 3000 BC, when the Vastu word was coined, and it was said that it had been working on the magic of positioning the stars and moon for decades now. After all these years of verified science, the modern era is turning once again towards Vastu.

Vastu shastra is similar to other types of designs that follow the science. It is constructed in such a manner that it fits into the genuine meaning of the major elements of nature and ensures the utmost wellness of mankind.

Many studies have demonstrated that Vastu shastra encourages prosperity and peace, which is why people love Vastu residences. In recent years, many people have made adjustments to their houses in order to correspond to the Vastu Shastra shape.

While it is impossible to construct a home entirely around the Vastu shastra, there are certain components that can be considered while purchasing or designing a home. In this blog, we will be your guidebook on what Vastu shastra aspects you should consider when purchasing New Residential Projects in Ahmedabad.

Vastu Tips To Keep in Mind While Buying a Residential Land

The direction of the land: The very first thing that must be considered by you while selecting a residential property is the direction of the land. To find out whether the direction of the land is perfect or not, just stand at the centre of the land and look at the road adjacent. If the road is facing east, north, or west, then it is ideal and you must go for that property. This also applies to 4/5 BHK flats, and the owner must look at this aspect before buying a property as it is good vastu advice.

The shape of the plot: The second factor that comes into play after looking at the direction of the land is the shape of the plot. Residential plots with rectangular or square shapes with no extension on any side are considered ideal shapes for the property, according to ancient beliefs. However, the north-east extension is exceptional as very few builders and owners go for this shape of plot. 

Type of the land: The people prefer to consume organic food, therefore land that is suitable for vegetation and agriculture is good for residential property. For housing residences, marshy or barren land is not good and purposeful for housing. You can talk to the people who are already living there and can also visit the registrar’s office to find out about the quality of the land. There is also a small vastu process to determine the quality of land, but only experienced vastu consultants can perform this process accurately.

The slope of the land: As per the Vastu ancient beliefs, the ideal land is where the slope is from south to north or west to east, also, from south west to north east. This means that the west and north should be higher than the east, and the south should be higher than the north. If you are looking for 4/5 flats in Ahmedabad, make sure you select the land as per its slope direction.

The surroundings: When you look to buy 4 BHK flats in Ahmedabad, make sure the land doesn’t fall near a hospital, police station, jail, graveyard, or crematorium. Avoid such lands at all costs, as well as those adjacent to temples or other religious sites.

Most importantly, sometimes the residential land comes with inbuilt borewells as it may have been used for harvesting by the previous owner. If so, avoid buying such land where borewells are installed in the southeast, south, south-west, and north-west. 

Vastu Tips For Buying a New Flat

Entrance

According to Vastu, the main gate of the house should be kept on the east or northeast side of the house. In Vastu shastra, the significance of sunlight pouring in through the main door is regarded as a very important component. The shastra considers these two ways to be beneficial as well. It is said that if the door faces this direction, more positive energy will enter the home.

When the door is facing south, southwest, or any other erroneous direction, wood or metal doors are the ones that fix the problem. Therefore, these two types of doors can be found in most of the ancient and New Residential Projects in Ahmedabad.

Kitchen

We obtain our nourishment from the kitchen. Therefore, ideally, maintaining the kitchen in the proper direction and appropriately positioned as the Vastus will help us stay in shape and offer us the perfect source of energy.

According to Vastu, the lord of Agni controls the southeast direction of the home; therefore, cooking with one’s back to the east ensures that the kitchen receives the proper ingredients from the outside world. If the kitchen cannot be hosted in the southeast owing to unforeseen circumstances, the northwest is the next best option. Apart from that, white is regarded as the best kitchen color since it depicts cleanliness and purity. While for the second option, the color yellow can be used as it depicts cheerfulness and uplift.

The living room

The place is where the majority of the family’s time is spent, and where the guest feels most comfortable. The living room unquestionably represents the ideal home. People who enter the house should recall the enthusiasm that the living room radiates. To be appropriately aligned, the living room should be in the north or east direction, according to Vastu.

The entrances from the northeast, south-east, and southeast offer wealth, health, and advancement in life. Direct the slop of the living room towards the east or north for a calming ambiance. Last but not least, for auspicious benefits, heavy furniture should be positioned towards the house’s south or west direction.

Verandah or Balcony

The best and most light-filled area on the home’s balcony or verandah should face north or northeast, as these are considered the most favorable directions. It is preferable to cover the balcony if it faces south or southwest since that direction invites negativity into the property. It is necessary to build the verandah such that its floor or roof is slightly lower than the floor of the main building. Because a balcony or verandah is a location where just a few pieces of furniture are used, it is best to position the furniture so that it faces the sunshine. Therefore, seating in the southwest direction is perfect. Squares and rectangles are the greatest shapes for the verandah, and a large doorway is ideal in the east.

Bathroom and Toilet

It may be hard to accept, but a decent bathroom and toilet set the tone for the rest of the house. People in the modern world have started to take better care of their bathrooms, from adorning them with nice scented candles and artwork to matching towels and a beautiful soft bathroom mat. All of this contributes to a pleasant house and offers the ideal home atmosphere, but only if the bathroom and toilet are properly aligned.

The bathroom and toilet should not be connected at all, and if they are, they should be positioned in the northeast direction, away from the kitchen walls. Some even argue that toilets should not be built near the Mandir. The most important thing to remember is to avoid building the toilets facing southwest, as this has a negative impact.

We should ideally only invest our hard-earned money in real estate once in our lives, and if we are fortunate enough, we must ensure that we invest in one that is scientifically validated since science can never lie. In recent years, the number of new residential projects in Ahmedabad has increased due to Vastu. However, as it grows, so does the necessity to adhere to basic Vastu shastra guidelines. As we progress down the route of modernity, it is usually wise to adhere to one that has been confirmed to be magically accurate by many.
