Way of Implementation of Vastu Rules?
Whenever we decide to construct a building, there are several things that need our careful consideration. Similarly for places of worships like temples, churches, etc. it is important to select the site or land with utmost care. Thus, Vastu Shastra has given the utmost importance to selection of a right plot along with some principles that one should follow-
Types of soil
Soil is usually classified according to its colours.
Black and clayey soil is not favorable for construction.
White soil with sweet taste, having lotus smell and greenery is considered very good for use.
Red soil which smells like blood and astringent in taste is average but needs some attention.
Pale green or yellow soil that has graining smell and sour taste is average and needs a lot of rectification.
Also, the load bearing capacity of the soil should be checked before beginning any sort of construction on it as it will make the foundation of the building.
Plot location–
The surrounding of a plot affect us directly and indirectly, so it is important that we select the right location for the construction of the building. The land should not be bought from people who are suffering from any sort of prolonged disease or people who have become distressed as the atmosphere of a particular space depends on the people living there.
It is important that the soil should not contain bones, skeletons or ant-hills. Old houses that are damaged due to natural phenomena like storm, rain or fire should not be bought. We should also not buy the land that is sandwiched between two huge buildings.
Plot shape
The plot should either be square or rectangle in shape and irregular shapes should be avoided. The plot should be observed for its positive and negative vibrations. We should prepare a Vastu Analysis chart indicating important aspects and grading of the plot and its surroundings.
