How to check if your home is ‘vastu-compliant’?
Vastu-compliant homes have become a rage in the real estate market today. However, even though people are consciously looking for such homes, rarely do they know the significance of each Vastu feature. Here we have prepared a checklist to see whether your home is Vastu-compliant or Not.
Nowadays, vastu has become a major deciding factor for buying a home. Anything that is supposed to ensure prosperity and happiness is sure to grab the attention of a typical Indian buyer. It thus does not come as a surprise that vastu compliance has become a prime criterion among home buyers.
However, most of these buyers do not understand the finer details of the science and hence end up being dependent on the word of the developer about the vastu compliance of the property. “Though there is a lot of buzz in the market about vastu-compliant properties, not more than five per cent of the home buyers are aware of the details of the science,” says Prashant Nath, AVP ,Veez Capital.
He adds, “Preference for vastu-complaint homes differ on the basis of demographics and occupation. For instance, businessmen and ladies in the house are more inclined towards these homes”.
So, if you are planning to invest in a vastu-compliant property, here a few factors that might help you check the compliance of the property.
How to check if the property is vastu-compliant?
- Placement of toilet/bathroom
- Make sure that the toilet/bathroom is not in the north-east corner of the house.
- Ideally, it should be in the east of south-east, south of south-west or west of the north-west corner of the house.
- It is recommended to avoid such homes/apartments as there is no remedy available to negate the negative impact of this.
Placement of entrance/main door
Ideally, the entrance of your house/apartment should be in the north-east corner. However, you may choose the entrance as per your profession:
- Business – North facing entrance
- Politics - East facing entrance
- Artist/Creative - South facing entrance
- Management - West facing entrance
Placement of bedroom
No bedroom is to be placed in the south of south-west direction and the master bedroom should not be in the north-east corner. This is believed to cause loss of money, bad health, sleep deprivation and no career growth.
Placement of guest room
The guest room should be constructed in the northwest direction. This is the best place to construct a guest room. The southeast zone is considered the second-best for constructing the guest room. Avoid the northeast direction for constructing guest rooms.
Placement of kid's room
Adding to it, Kulkarni says, “The children’s bedroom should not be in the west of north-west corner. Ideally, it should be in the south-west so that a child’s head is towards the east or south direction”.
Placement of kitchen
The kitchen should be ideally placed in the south of the south-east corner, it can also be in the west, but, strictly avoid an apartment where the kitchen is placed in the north corner.
Placement of pooja room
Pooja room should be ideally placed in north-east, east or north. It should not be built under a staircase. Avoid pictures of the deceased in the pooja room. If you live in a small house, you can place your pooja room in the kitchen or living room.
Placement of garage
The ideal direction to place the garage is in the north or the east direction. You can also construct the garage in the southeast but the gate must open towards the north. Ensure the height of the garage gate is lower than that of the main entrance gate of the house.
These are the major factors which affect the vastu compliance of a house. However, these factors make a home about 30-40 per cent compliant. In order to make your house 100 per cent vastu friendly, you need to make certain internal alterations apart from the structural factors mentioned above. These include hanging a wind chime at the entrance or centre of the living room, etc.
