Vastu factors to be considered while buying the plot of land

If you are looking for buying a plot, don’t forget to consider the vastu factor before selecting the plot. A plot selected by following vastu will be auspicious and bring prosperity, happiness, affluence, and health to the residents. Vastu supports balance, symmetry and harmony in construction. Following are the major vastu factors be kept in mind while selecting a plot:

Surrounding of the plot:The plot you select should be fertile. There should be plants or grass on the land. There should be no temple, school, hospital, cemetery or graveyard adjacent to any side of the plot. It should not be situated between two larger plots. A valley or big pit around the plot is inauspicious.

Level of Land: A flat level of the land is considered ideal for selecting plot. A rocky land is considered inauspicious. If the south and west part of the plot is higher that north or east, it brings good luck.

Roads around the plot: A plot surrounded by road on all four sides is considered best as per vastu. A plot at the dead end of the road is not appropriate for construction. However, if the road reaches the width of the plot it will be suitable.

Shape of the plot: A plot should be of square or rectangular shape, as they bring good luck for the residents. Square shape is best. The four sides of the plot should be toward four main directions. Irregularly shaped plots are inauspicious. T, Y and L shaped plot are considered unsuitable. However, if the plot is of uneven shape, you can create perfect geometry inside the plot called vastu fence.

Obstruction to the plot: Plots having tall buildings on the north, north-east or east sides should not be purchased. Plots with obstruction in front e.g pillars, big tree, post and well should be avoided.

Colour of the soil: Yellow colour of the soil is auspicious as it signifies an increase in wealth. Red and white soil are also considered good. Black or clay soil is not good.

Direction of the plot: In which direction the plot faces are also very important. For construction of house east and north facing plots are appropriate. Different directions faced by the plot is good for people in different fields.

Retraction or cuts in the plot: Any retraction or cuts in any corner of the plot is considered inauspicious. To minimize bad effects, a wall should be constructed to provide a rectangular or square shape to the plot. Otherwise, it will affect the people residing in that building.

Extensions in the plot: A plot having natural extension toward the northeast is very auspicious. It brings health and prosperity. Extension on any other side is not good. Avoid carrying out extension in south, west, south-west, south-east or north-west side of your plot.
