VASTU – PRE CONSTRUCTION MEASURES

VASTU – PRE CONSTRUCTION MEASURES

Once the land/site for construction of a building, residential or commercial is selected and finalized, how and when the construction should be commenced forms an important issue.

We know the basic concept of Vastu science is based, or we can say, its roots are in solar system and naturally the Sun assumes a very prominent role.  Sun rays have an effect on Vastu right from sunrise till subset.  It is, therefore, absolutely necessary to consider the directions for construction of a building with regards to the Sunrise-Sunset in order to avail maximum benefits of sun rays both in the morning i.e., during the Sunrise time as well as in the evening i.e., during the Sunset period.

Our ancient science of Vastu Shastra suggest that before taking up the construction, one should consider the planetary position with reference to the owners’ planetary situation i.e., with reference to the owners’ horoscope in consultation with astrologers and fix up an auspicious day (or Muhurut) for commencing work. There is a specific provision and a method for performing rituals for commencing the work and Vastu Shastra prescribes for following certain procedure. The following things are to be borne in mind while commencing the construction:

1. Open space is to be left on all sides.
2. More open space should be left on the Northern side of the plot and also on the Eastern side.
3. Thicker walls should be on the Western side and Southern side. The same applies to the compound walls also.
4. The number of doors and windows should be of even number.
5. Space for water sump below the ground level, should be left on the North East corner side.

These details are provided only with a view to see that necessary provision is made for before taking up the construction of the building.

The roads around the site play important role.  If there is any road forming a vidhi-shula exactly in front of the side, particularly where the road forms shula from south?  In such a case it is always better to keep the front door not facing the road directly. When the land faces south, it would be better to place the main door at the South-East or any other side except South-West.

The other vidhi-shulas which are not favorable are North-West from North, South-West from West, South-East from West, and South-East from East.  In these cases too, the main door should be placed avoiding direct facing to the Vidhi shula.

In urban areas where the sites formed by Government agencies or local authorities, it may not be possible to expect the sites of our choice. In such cases precautionary measures should be taken for avoiding facing directly the above said vidhi-shulas, while designing the building.

Vidhi-shula, a Sanskrit world means ( Vidhi – Road, Shula – Spear or Trident ) road or road ways which terminates or forms an end to the site or the building.

The sites with Vidhi-shulas other than those referred above are considered to be favourable.
