Vastu Shastra is an ancient Hindu System of architecture that origins around 6000 BC.
Vastu Shastra is based on scientific facts . It considers Sunrays, gravitational force, magnetic power, geographical condition, the five elements, and directions which is very essential to construct a house.
The residential and commercial spaces constructed nowadays rely on the basics of the five Elements in all aspects of planning, construction and doing the interiors.
Vastu Shastra in the modern age is not completely different from the one that was used in the ancient era but the way is different and the approach is different but altogether modern day Vastu Shastra used in today's architectural construction is derived from the Vedic sutras.
Purpose behind the Application of Principles of Vastushastra

If some defects have crept in construction of a house, because of ignorance or otherwise, they may be rectified with due prudence with the help of its principles. These remedies would certainly make life better.
Buying a property can be one of the most significant decisions of your life. Whether you buy a home or a business location, it is important for you to know vibrations of the house you are buying.

Most people prefer to buy a home that has been designed as per vastu.
Hence many builders try to implement at least basic principals in their layout during construction of house.
