Vastu

Vastu is an ancient Indian science of architecture and design, which focuses on harmonizing human dwellings with the natural environment. The word "Vastu" means  "science" or "knowledge." Together, Vastu Shastra can be understood as the "science of architecture."

The principles of Vastu are based on various elements of nature, including the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. It is believed that by aligning buildings with these natural elements and using specific geometric patterns, layouts, and directions, one can enhance the flow of positive energy and create a balanced living space.

In modern times, some people consult Vastu experts when designing or renovating their homes and offices to ensure that their spaces are aligned with these ancient principles.
