The foundation of the ancient Indian architectural discipline known as Vastu Shastra is the idea that a space’s layout and design have a big impact on its occupants’ well-being. “Shastra” denotes science or knowledge, while “Vastu” alludes to the habitation. This old system includes rules and ideas for building houses, temples, workplaces, and other buildings in balance with the environment. Vastu Shastra considers a variety of elements to produce a balanced and energetically good atmosphere, including room placement, site selection, orientations, and proportions.

The idea of the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—and how they affect the movement of energy in space is a cornerstone of Vastu Shastra. It is thought that by arranging rooms and other architectural features with these elements, positive energies are enhanced, and prosperity, health, and general well-being are brought about. To design and construct rooms that not only fulfill their intended functions but also promote calm and pleasant energy for the people living or working in them, Vastu Shastra is frequently used.
