Vastu For Buying Plots


Vastu For Buying Plots


The best plot is the square one followed by the rectangular one. The four sides of the plot should be towards the four main directions. A hexagon shaped plot (8 even sides) is also good.

The most important factor before choosing a land is its direction. While you plan to purchase a plot, prefer North-facing direction as it is considered highly auspicious. East and west facing plots can also be considered, however, south facing land should be completely avoided.

With the rise of smart homes and AI-driven real estate analytics, Vastu compliance is evolving to accommodate technology-friendly spaces. Experts recommend choosing plots that allow for seamless Wi-Fi connectivity, home automation setups, and minimal electromagnetic interference.

It is very important to have a look at the surroundings of your plot. First, one should ensure that no temple is present near the plot. There should be a good distance between the two. This is because temple carries negative energies of the followers.

Plots with ample sunlight, cross-ventilation, and proximity to green spaces not only enhance positive energy but also contribute to well-being. Additionally, solar panel installations and rainwater harvesting systems positioned in Vastu-compliant directions can further amplify prosperity and health benefits.


If the plot is rectangular, it is better that the longer sides run north to south rather than west to east. The best properties are either square or rectangular. If the plot is not a perfect rectangle, it is best if at least the southwest and southeast sides of the land are at 90º angles from one another. The southwest side of the quadrilateral should definitely not be extended past the southeast side, even if that means giving away a portion of the plot.

Land that extends past the northeast side of the quadrilateral, however, brings wealth, happiness, and good name. Land extending on the northeast side is very good. Extensions on any other side are inauspicious. Extensions of the northwest side will cause you to lose money and peace. The following chart shows the different shapes of plots and their suitability and effects:

Vastu For Buying Plots

  • North and East facing plots are generally considered most auspicious for residential purposes.
  • Plots with irregular shapes must be avoided. Preference should be given to plots with a rectangular and square shape.
  • Plots having an entrance in the north or east direction are auspicious. Even plots having an entrance in the southern direction works well but this depends entirely on your Kundli. Consult an astrologer before making a decision.
  • Ensure that your plot is not located near to a graveyard or hospital.
  • Check that there are no industrial buildings nearing your plot.
  • Corner plots and plots covered with green vegetation are considered to be auspicious.
  • The plot should not be within twice the distance of the height of the house to any public place like temple, hospital, factory etc. If the distance is more than that then it is ok. The house should be at least 80 ft or more away from any temple. The gate should not face a temple and the shadow of a temple should not fall on the house.
  • The plot with roads running along on all four sides is the best. It brings health, wealth and happiness.
  • The plot with a road running along and ending at the northeast corner is very good. But if the road ends on any other part of the plot it is usually not good.
  • While purchasing land, it is ideal to buy land that can be cultivated, i.e., where the vegetation can grow. Land with too many rocks, worms, bones and thorny trees is not considered good. If it is high at the center and sloping towards the sides it is not good.
  • Plants should be planted during auspicious constellations. It is ideal to plant during the bright half, i.e., close to full moon. Saplings should first be planted in clay pots and only later placed in the ground. This enables them to grow better.
