The Origins of Vastu Shastra

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian architectural science that dates back over 5000 years. Rooted in the Vedas, the oldest Hindu scriptures, Vastu combines astronomy, astrology, and sacred geometry to create harmonious living spaces.

The term "Vastu" refers to the physical environment, while "Shastra" means knowledge or science. Together, they represent the systematic knowledge of designing and constructing spaces in alignment with natural laws.

Traditionally used in temple architecture and royal palaces, Vastu principles ensure buildings resonate with cosmic energies, promoting the well-being of inhabitants.
