The term Vastu Shastra has its roots in Sanskrit. ‘Vaastu’ means the place of residence and ‘Shastra’ implies scientific implementation.
Many people assume it only to be a religious practice, but in reality, it bears scientific proof as well. It is a compound of architecture, astrology, science, and art.
Vastu Shastra is one of the most ancient Indian scientific disciplines studied by numerous sages and pedagogues. Vaastu Shastra had been practiced since the Indus Valley Civilisation. The architecture of the house, temple, roads, gardens, towns, waterworks and other constructions are followed by the principles of Vaastu.
