Questions, answered plainly.

Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of architecture and spatial planning, described in classical texts. It relates the orientation of a building and the arrangement of its rooms to the cardinal directions. A Vastu consultation applies those traditional principles to a specific plot, home or business space.

Vastu is a traditional discipline, not an empirical science, and claims of guaranteed outcomes are not established by scientific evidence. Some conventions overlap with sound design, such as daylight, ventilation and the sun's path. Vaastya offers guidance within the traditional framework and does not promise financial, health or business results.

No. Vastu guidance works alongside licensed professionals. Title and approvals need a property lawyer, structural and fire safety need a licensed engineer or architect, and building rules always apply. A consultation helps you ask the right questions of each.

General advice describes conventions that apply broadly, such as where a kitchen is traditionally placed. A property-specific review reads your actual plan, plot or premises, so it can say what applies to your layout, what matters most and what can be left alone.

For a flat: the unit floor plan, the project master plan, unit number and floor, and the direction of the main door. For a plot: the site or layout plan with dimensions, the location pin, road widths and photographs. Share only what is needed to review the layout.

Many reviews are done online from plans, photographs and a video call. A site visit adds value for plots, villas and larger purchases where slope, surroundings and access matter. Visits depend on location and scheduling, so mention your city when you enquire.

Yes. Online reviews do not depend on where you live or where the property is. If a site visit would help, we will tell you and discuss whether it can be arranged for your location.

No. Observations are first addressed through room use, furniture, storage and small adjustments. Construction changes are suggested only where they are practical, and they are marked as optional so you can decide with your architect.

Flats vary in how closely they follow traditional layouts, and the structure and entrance are fixed by the builder. A review shows how a particular unit reads, which units fit better if you are still choosing, and what can be arranged inside the flat.

The type and size of the property, whether it is a single review or a comparison of several options, whether it is online or on-site, and travel where a visit is needed. Share your property type and city when you enquire.
