Vastu for house exterior
TJYOTI S
he surroundings of your home is not only confined to the external appearance. It is crucial for the surroundings of your home to have a flow of the right energy, and that is why considering the vastu for exteriority holds prime importance. We enter and exit the house, from the outside world to inside the home and the place which brings all the happiness and good luck. Having a proper surrounding as per Vastu, can rope in the cosmic energy flow that promotes health, wealth and harmony to you and your family while creating the first impression of a house to anyone who visits.
Compound wall:
The compound is the wall that covers the boundary of the house. The compound wall should have more height and thickness in the Southern and Western sides as compared to the Northern and Eastern sides, as it prevents negative energy in the house. Light walls in the North and East sides are beneficial as they ensure morning rays and proper light in the house. This way the South and West sides will also become heavier than the rest which is very auspicious.
Garage:
The best place to construct a garage is the north-west and south-east corner, and never in the north-east, north or east portion of the house.
Overhead tanks:
Overhead tanks for water storage should be placed/constructed in south, west or south-west. However, south-west direction is considered best for an overhead tank according to Vastu. And any kind of underground tank created for storage of water should be in the north-east; it should be noted that an underground tank should never be constructed at the point where north and east directions meet. It should either be in the east or in the west but never in the center.
Underground reservoir:
It should always be in the northeast and should never be in southeast or south-west. One should cover the all inner portion of the tank with tiles, preferably of white colour, so as to ensure cleanliness of the tank.
Well / Bore well /
Tube well: These should be constructed in North - East or eastern sides to bring all round prosperity and new opportunities for growth.
Open space around the building:
We have to carefully examine the space given to us around the building and make sure that you are leaving the maximum space on the North and East side and less on the South and West sides. The construction should never be on the Northern and eastern wall as this violates the basic principle of Vastu. The left area in the North should not be less compared to the open area left in the South. The proportion:
The ratio between the length and breadth of the building should be 1:1 or 1:1.5 or maximum up to 1:2. It should never exceed this limit in any circumstance, otherwise it will become a ‘long bar’ shaped plot and is not at all auspicious.
