Vastu and Brahmasthan | | | |
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.
Identification of Brahmasthan
Divide the plot into 8 equal parts from East to West and North to South. Now the plot is divided into 64 equal parts. The four squares at the center of plot are the place of Brahmasthan.
Tips for Brahmasthan
- Main hall, Pooja Room or Courtyard can be constructed at the centre of the house.
- Toilets and Bathroom should not be built at the centre of the house.
- Kitchen at the center may have adverse effect on health.
- Generally, in duplex houses staircases are built at center of house. It may affect mental and financial growth of the residents.

- There should not be a beam at the center of house.
- Beams, arches, store room etc. should not be constructed at Brahmsthana.
