PLOT ACCORDING TO VASTU -
Shape
The best shape is square. Rectangle is also excellent provided the length is not more than 1.5 times th
e width. Where the plot is neither square nor rectangular, the following requirements should be ensured.
1. Angle at D must be a right angle.
2 .Angles at A and C should not be less than a right angle.
3. Angle at B should not exceed a right angle.
Where the aforesaid requirements are not obtainable, remedial measures are to be adopted. This is done by cutting off the interference and giving it away or keeping it off the corrected boundary through barbed wire fencing. The rejected area can be made a receptacle for dumping garden refuse etc. to make compost. This correction is a MUST before any construction activity is taken up.
Corners - Cut or rounding off at the corners is best avoided. This is particularly baneful at the north-east.
Topography
Ideally the downward slope should be from all sides to the north- east. Alternatively, the slope should be either to the north or to the east which implies that the plot would be facing the north or the east. Ensure that the slope is to be corrected, if a fault is noticed.
In plots facing the west or the south no relaxation of the direction of slopes is acc
epted. Instead, remedial measure is to be adopted. For instance, if the plot faces south, the direction of the slope of the entire plot should be made to the east only and, instead of a surface drain running in the south direction make vertical exit points leading into an underground drain which discharges the drainage out of the house in the south. Which means that the adverse slope underground is permitted as a compromise. In short, whatever be the direction of the face of the plot, ensure that the slopes conform to the directions as discussed earlier in respect of open areas. The purpose is to let the plot have freedom for air and light from the north and the east and restriction from the west and the south.
Roads -
Plot with roads on all the four sides ensures progress and prosperity. Such plots are uncommon. But then, a plot with road to the north or to the east is also excellent. The one wi
th roads on both the north and the east is still better as it receives the maximum impact of the Eshan force.
Plots facing the west or the south are not so good, but need not be rejected. These are amenable very greatly to remedies. These remedies, basically, are in the form of ensuring the above related slopes, receptivity, location of the main door and the location of the main gate. Sometimes, we find a road ending blindly. A plot located at such an end suffers from the adverse impact of the forces generated by the traffic operating on the road. The residents of the homes on such plots make no progress and suffer from multiplicity of problems.
Compound wall
The excavation for the compound wall should be started from the north-east and proceeded till the south-west end is reached. The erection of the wall should be done in the reverse order. The underlying idea is to ensure that weight at the north-east end is maintained always at being less than the weight at the south-west end. To serve this purpose one more care should be taken. The western and southern walls should be kept thicker and taller than those on the northern and the eastern sides. So also the walls at the east and the north may be retained at a low level topped with barbed wire or chain link fencing.
