The door should not be too high, too low, too wide or too narrow. The doors should be rectangular and square doors should always be avoided. Ventilation should be looked after and good cross ventilation should be present. Never put the poster of crying girl, war scene, sexy scenes, angry man, owl, eagle etc : they are  inauspicious. Doors should open inside the room and not outside. In bed rooms, always use bed of four legs only. Never use box type bed because it stops the air circulation under the bed which is bad for health.

A. Proportion of width and length of the building :

    The ratio between length and breadth of the building should normally be 1:1 or 1:1.5 or maximum
    1:2. It should not exceed 1:2 in all circumstances. The building dimension should preferably be
    longer in North-South, shorter in East-West.

GROUND LEVEL :

Ground level should be higher in West, SouthWest and South as compaired to East, North and NorthEast. It is better to keep NorthEast the lowest.

FLOOR LEVEL :

Floor level should be higher in South, SouthWest, SouthEast and Western portion and lower in North, NorthEast and East. The water should flow towards East or North and not in other directions. Central zone should be even.

ROOFING:

It is better to keep roofing sloping towards East and North.

                              

SLOPY ROOFS / SLANTING ROOFS :

Now a days it has become a fashion to keep roofs deeply slopy :

(1.) Keeping the roofs slopy symmetrically in all sides : or
(2.) If the slope is on East or North sides only, keeping the East or North or both sides down. The idea
      is to keep South and West heights in level. Slanting towards South or West only should be
      avoided as that will lead to serious health problems.

BUILDING HEIGHT :

There are two options :
(1.) Height can be equal every where in the building.
(2.) Keeping South, SouthWest and West higher as compared to other parts of the building.
      Conversely North, NorthEast and East should be lower in heights.

TERRACE / PORTICO / PORCH / BALCONIES :

All these should be located only in North, East and NorthEast sides of the building to bring health, wealth and happiness. Balconies should face North and East.
 
 
MEZZANINE FLOOR : ( a projected floor in between ground and first floor as seen in Cinema
                                     theatres)
This should be placed in West or South side of the building.

CELLARS / BASEMENT :

Normally building cellars and basement rooms etc. below the road level of a house should be avoided. Due to paucity of space now a days building cellars or basement is being widely adopted. Care should be taken to keep the height of the cellar or basement projecting up above the road level to some extent. Cellars or basement covering the entire plot is all right. If it is to be constructed only in a portion of basement it should be located only in North, NorthEast and East sides preferably with entrance from NorthEast. If constructed on SouthWest that should be used for heavy storage. NorthWest and SouthWest portion should be used for servants, car parking etc.

If cellars or basement are built in South, SouthWest and West and used for living that will create mental tension and loss of wealth for inmates.

STAIR CASE:

Placing stair case in North or West zone turning right in the middle and emerging in the first floor facing East or South or SouthWest zone is also auspicious. While climbing one should face West or South up to middle point and after that one can face any direction; emerging at the end at NorthEast portion is considered auspicious.

It will be auspicious to keep doors both at beginning and at the end of the stair case. It is also essential to ensure that the stair case does not touch Eastern or Northern wall.
The steps should be in odd numbers like 11, 17, 23 etc. In other words, if the number is divided by 3, the remainder.

SERVANT QUARTERS :

The best place to construct servant quarter is South-East or North-West corners. Care should be taken to ensure (i) not to block the corners at SouthEast or NorthWest. (ii) the quarters should not touch the walls on East or North.

GARAGE FOR CARS:

The best place for garage is South-East or North-West and the garage walls should not touch the walls on East or North.

CHOWKI OR SECURITY CABIN OR GUARD'S ROOM :

A regular concrete shelter or alternatively a wooden chowki is made in South-West or other place near main gate. The shelter should be facing East or North. It is important to ensure that the watchman can easily see every movement from a distance itself.

OVER HEAD TANKS:

North-West or South-West zones are the right places for overhead tank. Since it is of having weight at a height, South-West is the best. Precaution should be taken to ensure that the overhead tank does not touch the main building.

UNDER GROUND RESERVIOR OR WATER TANK :

The right place for underground reservior or water tank is the NorthEast, the place of Eshwar, the God Supreme. The next choice is East Zone on the Northern side.

SWIMMING POOL :

The best place to locate a swimming pool is the NorthEast side. It is better to build the swimming pool in a corner ( and not exactly at junction of North and East points ) where privacy is ensured.

WATER CLOSETS OR LAVATORY :

For this Southern or Western side should be used. South-West or North-West corners and central place of the house or building should never be used for this purpose. If possible Eastern and Northern side should also be avoided. The person sitting in water closets should face North or South or South-West and never the East Direction.

TREES :

Vastu concepts regarding the plants and their plantation must be kept in mind so as to make your home not just superficially beautiful, but also Vastu oriented. As a general rule, gardens in homes or factories should always be in the North or West and of the compound. The South-East and South-West are not to be selected for any kind of garden or plantation. Fruit bearing trees or trees with good foliage are always preferred to thorny trees. Care should be taken not to grow trees which have huge penetrating roots as it can prove harmful for the house.

OUTER GATES :

Generally gates in North, North-East and East directions are auspicious and good. Roadfacing South is not generally preferred. In South road plots, SouthWest gate should be avoided. South-East gate is a better choice. In a plot facing West (road on Western side) SouthWest main entrance gate should be avoided; NorthWest gate is a better option. East or North direction is the best for placing main gate.

HEIGHT :

Height of the building should be uniform to get the most advantageous results. There must be uniformity among projections or elevations. The higher or lower level of the building in any of the eight directionshas the following effects as given in Shastras :

DIRECTION	LOWER	HIGHER
1. North	Brings good, comfort and prosperity	Harmful in every sense
2. NorthEast	All prosperity benefits	Poverty and sufferings
3. SouthEast	If lower than Nairitya, it is auspicious, but if lower than Vayaya or Eeshan, fear of fire and enemy and breeds ill.	If higher than Nairitya, it is inauspicious, if higher than Eeshan or Vayaya, it brings wealth.

SELECTION OF SITE / PLOT Several things need careful consideration while going in for construction of a building. The most important of all these is selecting the right plot or site. Sand and its surroundings bring peace and harmony or pains and sorrows in life. Thus it is always advisible to consult an expert on Vastu Shastra before buying a plot or purchasing a house, flat or other buildings instead of calling him in at a later stage to design the building, do supervision and other work. By the time the damage would have already been done. FROM WHOM NOT TO BUY A PLOT According to Vastu Shastra, a plot or site of land should not be purchased : - From those who became insolvent - From person suffering from leprosy - From lunatics - From people who have left the country, etc. Similarly, land donated to temple, alloted to watchman of village or colony, land in possession of charitable trusts, land without any title deed should not be purchased. Land containing boulders, ant hills, worm hills, bones and skeleton etc, should not be acquired. DIRECTION OF THE PLOT - Plot facing East is good for scholars, philosphers, priests, professors, teachers etc. - Plot facing North is good for those in power, administration and those who work for government. - Plot facing South is good for business class and for those who work in business organisation. - Plot facing West is for those who provide supporting services to the society. ENVIRONMENT OR SURROUNDINGS OF THE PLOT This is most important. If the sorrundings are not good, we suffer in many ways. - Plots which are fertile with plants and greeneries are very good. - A river or big canal nearby and if it is in North side and water flows from West to East, it is good. - Similarly if it is on East side of the plot with water flowing from South to North, that is also good. - But plots with rivers or canal flowing on West or South side of the plot should be avoided. - Hills, hillocks, mounds of Earth, big boulders etc on the Southern, South West and Western sides of the plot is good : in other sides, it will mar the progress. - There should be no graveyard, cemetry or tomb adjacent to the plot or in front or back. - Location of temples near the plot also affect the immates. Temple on the right side of a plot cause material loss, on the left, grief and sorrow, in front, obstruction to progress and in the 100 feet apart, those disastrous result are avoided. - Similarly plot very near to Cinema-theatres, schools and colleages are to be avoided. OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF MAIN GATE OF PLOT If there are obstructions of the undernoted types before main gate of the plot, following problems will arise as per BRAHUSANHITHA. - Big Tree-obstruction to the progress of children, - Gutter or Ditch-grief, - Open well- mental problem, - Corner of another building-mental unrest, - Water drain-draining of income by unwanted expenses, - Straight street-affecting longivity of inmates, - Dilapitated house or walls-affecting prosperity, - Staircase railings-sadness, - Pillars; Electric and telephone post-affecting females. According to VASTURAJ and BRAHUSANHITA these are called VEDH DOSHA. But in between the plot and obstacles if there is a public road, these deficiencies are nullified. Similarly, if the distance between the obstacles and the house is two times the height of the house, these deficiencies will have no effect. For example, if the height of the house is 11 feet and if the obstructions are more than 22 feet away, Vedh Dosha vanishes. SORROUNDINGS OF NEIGHBOURS The surroundings of our neighbouring houses on all sides also affect us. Rain water falling from the roofs of neighbours should not flow into our plot particularly from North or East direaction. The affluent of neighbour should not flow into our plot. In the North East side of the plot high-rise or tall buildings should not be there because such high rise buildings give rise to mental unrest. But if they are in South, South West or Western sides that will be auspicious to the buyer of the new plot or house. In between two neighbouring big plots, a smaller plot should not be purchased. Similarly between two tall buildings, a small house should not be bought. This will make the buyer poorer day by day.  A plot measuring 180 feet By 100 feet (180*100) was purchased by three parties. Here the person who bought plot C turns out to be most prosperous while owner of plot B has to face all sorts of trouble. CHECKING UP MATERIALS that come up while doing excavation for construction. MATERIAL RESULT 1. Stone Increase of wealth 2. Bricks All types of wealth and prosperity in future 3. Copper or Metals Prosperous life 4. Coal Sickness and loss of wealth  5. Bones of animals Obstacles to progress 6. Snake or Scorpion Fear of these animals and obstruction to building's progress 7. Anthill, Termites Destruction of wealth, reduction in longivity of life 8. Straw, eggs Death, Unnecessary expenses 9. Cotton Sorrow 10. Pieces of wood Has to abondon the house and run away 11. Skull Unwanted quarrels, litigation 12. Horns of cow wealth and prosperity 13. Gold, Silver, Coins All type of comforts 14. Zinc, Brass pieces Fortune and comforts 15. Rags (torn clothes) Quarrels and fights 16. Iron or steel pieces Death GETTING RID OF SHALYA DOSH (Soil Deficiency) If the soil is found defective as above it must be purified or cleansed before starting any construction in the plot. Shastras have laid many ways for getting rid of SHALYA DOSH. SLOPES OF PLOTS SLOPES OF PLOTS Slope, size, shape, direction, proportion, location of openings, sorroundings, etc. of a plot have significant influence both positive and negative, on the inmates of building constructed on it. According to Vastu Shastra the shape of the ground surface also influences the fortune of the occupants. As a rule the plot should be elevated in South and West directions, sloping (declining) towards East and North so that water flows from West to East and from South to North. This type of plot brings joy and happiness, good children and all the success in life to the occupants of the building erected on it. According to Shastras a plot is divided into two parts like this :  The Moon's place that is South Western portion of the plot should be elevated and the Sun's place, that is North and Eastern portion should be at lower level. Such a plot will bring joy and happiness, good children and success in life to that family. On the other hand, if Sun's place is elevated and Moon's place is depressed, the owner and family of that house will become poorer day by day, suffer from diseases and get entangled in quarrels and litigations and lose everything gradually. Following diagram shows the effects of slope, that is low level or depression at each corner. The slope towards mid point, that is all sides elevated but mid point depressed means continuously fighting with diseases and losing every thing. If only Southern direction remains high leveled, it will bring bad effects. Sometimes even death will result. There are several permutations and combinations of steep and low levels in different directions with varying effects. A Vastu consultant will be of real help in selecting the right plot for size. Another important point to be kept in view is that the plot should not be too high or too low in level to the abutting roads. SIZE OF THE PLOT Bigger the size, it is better. SHAPES Like different sizes and shapes of human beings, plots available are also of different shapes and sizes. The summarised effects on the inmates of plot of different shaped plot are : Serial No. Shape of the plot Figure Effects 1.

PROJECTIONS, RETRACTIONS AND CLOSING OF CORNERS Plots are always not available in the shape of perfect square, rectangular or quarrangle. Projections means an additional space which when substracted from the plot, makes it a regular square or rectangle. While retraction means an additional space which when added to the plot, makes it a regular square or rectangle. The effects of projections, retractions and closing of corners or the inmates are as follows : Serial No. PROJECTION IN DIRECTION SHAPE EFFECTS 1.
