Vaastu Inspection refers to the examination of a property or space based on Vaastu Shastra, an ancient Nepalese architectural and design system. Vaastu Shastra is a traditional science that deals with the principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, spatial geometry, and other aspects of architecture. It is believed to bring harmony and positive energy to the living or working environment. During a Vaastu inspection, a qualified Vaastu consultant or Vaastu Guru examines various aspects of the property to ensure that it adheres to the principles of Vaastu Shastra.
Vaastu Inspection is one of the services provided by Swastha Ghar. During this inspection, a civil engineer or an architect is accompanied along with a Vaastu Guru.
Some key aspects that may be considered during a Vaastu inspection include:
- Directional alignment: Vaastu emphasizes the importance of cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) and their influence on different aspects of life. The orientation of the property is examined to ensure it aligns with these directions.
- Entrance placement: The location of the main entrance is crucial in Vaastu. It is believed to influence the flow of energy and overall well-being. A Vaastu inspection may evaluate the placement and direction of the entrance.
- Room layout: The arrangement of rooms within a property is examined to ensure they follow Vaastu principles. Each room has specific recommendations regarding its function and placement.
- Energy flow: Vaastu emphasizes the flow of positive energy (prana) within a space. A Vaastu inspection may focus on ensuring there are no obstructions or negative influences disrupting the energy flow.
- Placement of key elements: The positioning of elements such as the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and other essential areas is considered during a Vaastu inspection. Specific guidelines exist for each area based on Vaastu principles.
- Color and design: Vaastu recommends certain colors and designs that are considered auspicious and harmonious. A Vaastu inspection may include suggestions for the use of colors and patterns to enhance positive energy.
- Remedies: If the property deviates from Vaastu principles, the consultant may provide recommendations or remedies to rectify the imbalances. These remedies may include the use of specific objects, colors, or changes in layout.
It’s important to note that while Vaastu Shastra has a long cultural and historical significance in Nepal, opinions on its effectiveness may vary. Some people choose to incorporate Vaastu principles into their homes and businesses for cultural or personal reasons, while others may not consider it a significant factor in their decision-making.
