Vastu Shastra is the classical Indian science of architecture and spatial harmony — aligning a building's directions, rooms and five elements with natural energies for wellbeing and prosperity.

Can I check my home's Vastu online for free?

Vaastu World publishes Vastu guides. The specialist audit and room-tool service is available at vaastuworld.org; that service shows its current access terms before you start.

The Vastu computed assessment is an advisory summary of a completed property audit. Vaastu World at vaastuworld.org is the specialist service and states the current scope, availability and price there.

Does my flat or house number affect Vastu?

In numerology a property's number carries a vibration; Vaastu World checks its compatibility with your own birth number and suggests remedies to align it.

How is Vaastu World's Vastu different from other tools?

Vaastu World ties Vastu to your birth chart (Jyotish) — reading your property against your own Sun, Moon and Lagna — a personalization no other Vastu tool offers, in 10 Indian languages.

Vastu Tips for Living Room

Vastu often favors a living room toward the North, East, or North-East. Use that placement to plan daylight, conversation, clear movement, and comfortable seating for the household. Best direction: North, North-East, or East.

Key Vastu tips

02Choose artwork that suits the household; a sunrise or landscape can be a traditional choice for an East or North wall.

04Add plants only where they receive suitable light and can be maintained safely.

Dos and don'ts

Dos

Keep windows and exits clear when arranging the main sofa.
Remove broken objects and care for plants as routine maintenance.
