What is Vastu Shastra?

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.

What is the Vastu computed assessment?

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.

Do I need to demolish anything to fix Vastu defects?

No. Most Vastu defects are corrected with simple, no-demolition remedies — placement, colour, elements and directional adjustments — which Vaastu World lists for each detected defect.

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.
