1) Vaastu of Plot
    We should examine the levels, angels, its size and shape etc. and see whether it satisfies the Vaastu
    principles, if not the plotshould be modified by additions and alterations.

a) For Houses
    1. It should be close to a square to be an ideal one.
    2. A rectangle is good, Breadth and Length ratio should not be more than 1:2
    3. A triangular shape is not good.
    4. Round shape and all other odd shapes are also not good.
    5. If the plot is not as per Vaastu it should be corrected.
    6. If it  cannot be corrected, it should be rejected.

b) For Industrial houses and business concerns :
     While the principles of Vaastu are same, the size and shape of the plots may differ as per the type of
      business or industry's requirement.
      However, for Industries & multi-storeyed flats,Vaastu principles are enumerated in seperate pages.

c) Angles of the plot
   1. Ideally all angles should be 90 degrees.
   2. The South West angle should be 90 degree. This is very important.
   3. North West angle should be close to 90 degree or little more. It should not be less than 90 degree.
   4. South East angle should be close to 90 or little more but not less than 90 degrees.
   5. North East angle should be close to 90 or less but never in excess of 90 degrees.

d) Location and Direction of Plot.
    The Location of the plot is very important but its significance in terms of its directions as to which side the plot is facing, should not become a hurdle in acquiring a plot. The East and North facing sites are to be preferred to those facing West and South. Special care has to be taken for west and south facing plots while designing the house or work place.

e) Plots having two or more roads.
   1. Ideally the plot should have roads on all four sides.
   2. It is good to have more than one road.
   3. North and East roads are the best.
   4. South and West roads are good for business people.
   5. North and West roads are also good.
   6. South and East roads are good for women and organizations for women.

LEVELS OF THE PLOT:

Levels inside the plot.
   1. The ground level should be high in the South and West.
   2. The ground level in the North and East should be lowest in the plot.
   3. Levels in the South-East and North-West should be more or less equal.
   4. South-East and North-West level should be higher than the North-East, but lower than the South-West
       levels.
   5. North levels should be lower than South.
   6. East levels should be lower than West.

Levels outside the plot.
   1. East and North levels of the adjoining plot or road should be low.
   2. Towards South and West of the plot hillocks or mounds are good.
   3. Ponds, Tanks or Rivers in North or East or North-East of the plotyield, good results.
   4. A high building built towards South or West or South-West, of our plot is good for our prosperity.
   5. Any pond or tank or well or valley or ditches etc. , towards South-West, outside the plot will bring
       misfortune.

Wells.
          before the construction of the house is taken up, an open well or a bore well has to be dug in the plot.
    1. East side well means it should be in the first half towards east.
    2. Similarly, North side well means it should be in the first half towards East.
    3. A well in the West or South or South-West is taboo.
    4. A well in the North-West or South-East is also not good.
    5. A well opposite to the gate or main door or opposite to doors opening outside, is not advisible.
    6. A well in the center of the building is also not advisable.

Cellars.
    1. The cellar should be in North or East or North-East portion of the ground floor.
    2. The cellar constructed in south or west or south-west direction will cause problems to inmates.
    3. North-East portion of cellar  should be kept open as far as possible.
     4. South-West portion could be used for storage etc.
    5. North-West or South-East portions of Cellar could be used for car parking or as servant quarters etc.
 
2)  Vaastu of buildings
                                     Any structure whether it is a residential house or office , industrial house , business concern, theatre, temple,choultry,hotel should be built according to VAASTU. The main points to be kept in mind are:
    1. The building should be built leaving open space on all sites.
    2. More open space should be left in North side of the plot and less space in the south.
    3. Similarly more open space should be left in the East than West side of the plot.
    4. The building height should be more on  the South and West.
    5. The height or level of the building should be less in North and East
    6. On a multi storeyed building, terrace should be left towards north or east, not towards south or west.

  29. Overhead tank should be either in South or West. There is a difference of opinion to have it on
        South-West; more weight is acceptable on South-West but water in South-West is not advisable.
  30. Out-Houses can be built in South-East or North-West but they should not touch North and East walls
