Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of architecture which literally translates to ‘SCIENCE OF ARCHITECTURE’.These are texts found on the Indian subcontinent that describe principles of design ,layout,measurements,ground preparation,space arrangement & spatial geometry.Vastu Shastras incorporate traditional hindu & in some cases Buddhist beliefs.

Shelter is one of the basic needs for human beings .People spend much of their time in their homes.Therefore comfort & environmental conditions are important aspects of a house.The purpose is to clear the fears in the mind of the people about the misconception of Vastu Shastra & it’s tenets ,the fear created by consultants by threats of destruction ,death,disease & miserable life.Therefore ,knowing & applying the rules of Vastu Shastra would be extremely beneficial for any modern day architect or interior designer in India.Vastu Shastra takes into account the influences of the sun,it’s light & heat.It considers the impacts of earth’s electromagnetic field ,bio chemical effects in human body,in order to lead a healthy & prosperous life.

THE FUNDAMENTAL RULES OF VASTU SHASTRAS ARE BASED ON TWO IMPORTANT ASPECTS:

• The five natural elements Sky,Fire,Water,Air & Earth.
• The eight cardinal directions NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST,NORTH-EAST,NORTH-WEST,SOUTH-EAST,SOUTH-WEST.

Various human conditions can be improved by considering the effectiveness of these five basic natural forces while designing the buildings .The role of Vastu Shastra is to combine these elements of nature & balance them with the man & the matter .

Consequently Vastu in India is treated as a religious duty more than art of construction ,which leads to the misunderstanding of its concept.
