Originated from the Vedas, believed to bring peace and prosperity and what is commonly known all over India, as Vastu Shastra, is an age-old science of architecture. As most people strongly agree, the role of vastu in land and building is almost unavoidable. It is a science that is both practical and wondrous.
While building a plot requires adequate methods and precise thinking, the selection of land for an investment plays an equally important role. To fulfil this purpose to its best, the rules of Vastu have been used for ages. This article will inform you about these golden rules of Vastu that will help you make an open land investment without the hassle of going through pendulum-like thoughts.
First things first
If you are looking forward to going on one of those sprees of searching for the best land to invest in, you must consider the following Vastu tips:
1. It is better to avoid land that is near any kind of burial, cemetery or mausoleum.
2. Lands closer to a sewage or garbage dump can be avoided for a better atmosphere. After all, who wants a stinky environment?
3. A land facing a religious institution, a hospital or a nursing home should be avoided according to Vastu.
4. Consider investing in an open plot which does not have bigger plots or buildings on either side of it, to avoid the blockage of positive energies. However, investing in a land that has another empty land in its north or north-east direction will be a good idea.
5. Lands with trees, mountains or taller buildings present in its west or southwest direction are considered good according to Vastu.
6. Similarly, any kind of freshwater bodies on the east and north side of the land is considered very auspicious.
Auspicious plot shapes according to Vastu
After carefully considering the aspects mentioned above, one should take good care of the shape of the land before investing. Some of the good shapes according to Vastu are Shermukhi, Gaumukhi, a square plot and a rectangular plot. Let’s find out why these shapes are considered lucky.
Shermukhi
This lion-like shaped land is said to bring good fortune to the owner of the land. This shape has one broad and one narrow side at the far end and works best if its broader side faces in the north direction.
Gaumukhi
This is the shape that depicts the shape of a cow and is said to bring success and luck in the life of the owner. Like the lion-shaped land, cow-shaped lands are also best if their broader part is in the northeast direction with the narrow part in the northeast corner and not towards the east.
Square shaped
A square shape represents balance. All sides of a square-shaped land are equal and thus, signify harmony and balance. A square-shaped land does not have unequal or missing corners and is considered best according to Vastu. They are said to bring luck and prosperity and suit best for commercial and residential purposes or simply for an open land investment.
Rectangular shape
This shape is also considered adequate and is considered complete in Vastu. Similar to a square shape, these lands do not have any missing corners and a plot with a ratio of 1:2 or less might suit best for an open land investment.
Vastu as a shastra is a huge compilation of architectural rules and thus, contains much more. However, these Vastu tips are capable enough to guide you into making the right decision of making an open land investment.
