Brahmasthan is a unique feature of ancient architecture based on Vastu Shastra. It is central, holiest and powerful zone of the house.
All directions meet at the center of the house and disperse positive
energy in all directions. This positive energy is very useful for living
beings of the occupants of the house. Brahmasthan is also important
place for factories and industries. The central place is identified by
painting ceiling with a different color.
If people want to enjoy riches, harmony and happiness, Brahmasthan should be left open and is free of obstructing objects.
In ancient time, it was common to construct a courtyard at the centre
of house which was open to sky and to the rooms around courtyard.
