Vastu Shastra

Vaastu Shastra (Vaastu- physical environment and Shastra- knowledge/ text/ principles. The 't' in both the

words is dental. Also spelled Vastu) is one of the traditional Hindu canons of town planning and architecture.

These canons are codified in texts such as Manasara Silpa Shastra (by Manasara),Mayamatam (by Maya),

Viswakarma Vaastushastra (by Viswakarma), Samarangana Sutradara (by Raja Bhoja), Aparajita Praccha (by

Viswakarma's son Aparajita) and Silparatna. Vaastu Shastra deals with various aspects of designing and building

living environments that are in harmony with the physical and metaphysical forces/ energies of the cosmos such

as the gravitational, electromagnetic and supernatural. Building practices based on limited interpretations of

these principles are still sustained in specific areas of India.

Vaastu Shastra evolved as a compilation of planning principles for a healthy living based on the knowledge base

of the time (similar to Western treatises such as Vitruvius') and was not meant to be absolute. Its current

popularity stems from its focus on a wholesome approach to space and form. Vastu was earlier used in the

design of Hindu homes, but became less prominent in the industrialization period during and following the

colonial British Raj. But it is used extensively in temple design, and so survived in the clans of temple designers

and architects. In recent years, it has again gained mainstream popularity, and there are several Vastu

'consultants' in India, some dubious, some genuine.
