Vastu Shastra (Gaumukhi Plot)
Vastu Shastra (vāstu śāstra, also Vastu
Veda, "science of construction", "architecture") is a traditional Hindu system of design based on directional alignments. It is primarily applied in Hindu architecture, especially for Hindu
temples,, although it covers other applications, including poetry, dance, sculpture, etc. The foundation of Vastu is traditionally ascribed to the mythical sage Mamuni Mayan.
While Vastu had long been essentially restricted to temple architecture, there has been a revival in India in recent decades, notably under the influence of V. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, Tamil
Nadu (b. 1927), who has been campaigning for a restoration of the tradition in modern Indian society since the 1960s
An Ideal House can be made on a "GAUMUKHI PLOT". As a house is very important for a person so it should be made very carefully by considering the
following points in planning:
Ideal location of rooms in a house is given in the diagram below:-
Bedroom:- While construction a bed - room, directions should be specially chosen. The directions according to which rooms should be constructed are as under:
| North - West | The room in this direction is suitable for guests and girls. |
| South - West | The Chief of the house should have his room in this direction. |
| North - East | No bedroom should be situated in this direction. In such situation there is a possibility of increase number of girls in the family |
| South-East | No bedroom should be located in this direction. The children do not take interest in studies. There is no sound sleep. People have much anger. Decisions are generally taken hurriedly. |
| West | There is a possibility of birth of larger number of girls in the family. |
Bathroom: - It should be in the West and South directions and the flow of its drains should be towards
North-East. Commode should be South or West facing. Exhausts fan can be fixed on North and East walls. Geysers should be South-East since it is 'Agneya' corner and Geyser is associated with
heat.
Toilet: -According to Vastu principles, Toilets and Bathroom
should be situated separately. These days, it is not possible because of paucity of space. As such, these are built attached with each other within the house. The following points need special
attention for such construction.

Architecture and Design Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing and constructing space that reflects functional, social, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the manipulation and
coordination of material, technology, light, and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing designed spaces, such as project planning, cost estimating and construction
administration. A wider definition may comprise all design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture). In fact,
architecture today may refer to the activity of designing any kind of system and is often used in the IT world.
The principal information provided in set of house drawings are as follows: Site plans are drawn to show the location of a home on the property in its context. It is an overhead
view of the construction site and the home as it sits in reference to the boundaries of the lot. Site plans should outline location of utility services, setback requirements, easements, location of
driveways and walkways, and sometimes even topographical data that specifies the slope of the terrain. A floor plan is an overhead view of the completed house. You'll see parallel
lines that scale at whatever width the walls are required to be. Dimensions are usually drawn between the walls to specify room sizes and wall lengths.
