a brief on vastu

India has been a centre of profound knowledge, encompassing both spiritual and material sciences, with well-established practices and guidelines. This remained intact until foreign invasions began around 1,000 years ago, nearly erasing its ancient knowledge system. However, this wisdom was partially preserved and more in the pockets of Southern India— Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala—where the impact of these invasions was considerably minimal.

​

One of these ancient knowledge systems - Vastu Shastra (science of living spaces) saw a revival from the 1990s onwards in Southern India, followed by Northern India around 2005. As awareness grew, the ancient science of Vastu regained prominence. Eventually, its influence spread beyond India, attracting global interest as people recognized its benefits and its simplicity to implement and began incorporating it into their architectural practices.
