Vastu floor plan FAQ

Common questions this Vastu checker answers

Which direction should the main entrance face for the best Vastu?

Classical Vastu treats North, East and especially North-East (Ishaan) as auspicious entrance directions. West and North-West are described as acceptable, while South-West is the most cautioned placement. This is traditional guidance, not a building-safety rule. Sources: Mayamatam 9, Brihat Samhita 53.66-78.

Is a kitchen in North-East really that bad?

The cited Vastu tradition treats a North-East kitchen as a high-priority concern because it places the fire function in the Ishaan field. If the room cannot move, review whether cooking can shift toward the South-East part of the room while sink and water points remain separated. Any gas, electrical, plumbing or platform change requires qualified site review.

Why is the South-West the recommended direction for the master bedroom?

In the cited Vastu tradition, South-West is symbolically associated with weight and stability, so it is commonly preferred for the principal bedroom. This is a traditional spatial interpretation, not a prediction about authority, health or financial outcomes. Room comfort, ventilation, access and building constraints still take priority.

Is a North-East toilet really that bad?

The cited Vastu framework treats a toilet in North-East or over the Brahmasthan as a high-priority traditional concern. Sources and modern schools do not always use identical terminology or remedies, so the report labels evidence and disagreement. This classification is not a sanitation, waterproofing or structural assessment.

Where should the pooja room be located?

North-East (Ishaan) is the classical seat of the deity - the lightest, most sattvic field. East and North are acceptable second choices. The pooja should not sit in South, South-West, under stairs, or share a wall with a toilet.

What is the Brahmasthan and why must it be kept open?

The Brahmasthan is the geometric centre of the dwelling in the Vastu Purusha Mandala. The cited tradition generally prefers this zone open or lightly loaded. The tool may flag wet functions, stairs or heavy storage there as a severe traditional Vastu layout concern; it does not diagnose structural defects.

Can I buy a flat with a South-West entrance?

Within the cited traditional Vastu framework, a South-West main door is treated as a high-priority concern. Verify the unit entrance and True North, compare the full layout, and consult appropriate design and building professionals. Vastu guidance alone is not a financial or purchase decision.

Which direction should I sleep with my head pointed?

Head to South is the classical first choice, with East as a second choice for students and young people. West is tolerated and North is discouraged in the cited Vastu tradition. This is a traditional prescription, not a medical claim.

Which way should the cook face while cooking?

Facing East is the classical prescription - aligning the cook with the rising sun and Agni's home direction. Facing North is acceptable. Facing South or West is discouraged.

Where should the overhead water tank go?

Modern Vastu systems commonly prefer an overhead tank toward South-West, West or South and caution against North-East or the centre. Treat this as a traditional placement preference only. Never move or resize a tank without structural, waterproofing, plumbing and access review by qualified professionals.

Where should I keep shoes and the shoe rack as per Vastu?

Keep shoes in a closed shoe rack near the entrance, preferably in the West, North-West, South or South-West side of the foyer. Avoid the North-East, Brahmasthan, kitchen, pooja room and bedroom. Keep footwear hidden, ventilated and away from the main threshold line.

Is Vastu scientifically proven?

Vastu is a traditional cultural and spatial framework. Some recommendations overlap with practical daylight, ventilation, circulation and room-use considerations, but directional rules and claimed life outcomes are not established scientific predictions. Use it as an optional preference layer, not as proof of health, wealth, safety, property value or future events.

How accurate is the AI image analysis and Vastu score?

The image analysis is an editable first draft, not a certified survey. Accuracy depends on the correct occupied-unit boundary, readable labels, True North, Brahmasthan and marker positions. Once inputs are fixed, the score deterministically compares the marked geometry with disclosed Vastu rules; it is not a probability, legal approval, structural assessment or outcome guarantee.
