By incorporating a number of principles and practises into the conventional Hindu system of architecture known as Vastushastra, a harmonious and balanced living situation is meant to be achieved.

The origins of Vastushastra can be traced back to ancient texts such as the Vedas, specifically Vishwakarma Prakash, Mayamatam, Rajavallabha, Samarangana Sutradhara and Manushyalaya Chandrika. It is believed that Vastushastra evolved as a discipline to promote well-being, prosperity and spiritual harmony by aligning architectural design with the cosmic forces and natural elements.

It is an ancient Indian architectural science that aims to create balanced living spaces. It considers factors like layout, orientation and proportions, emphasizing harmony between the five elements. Vastushastra also considers cardinal directions and their energies, ensuring positive flow — a discipline practiced worldwide that guides the construction of spaces.
