Welcome to a world where your home is not just a place, but a sanctuary that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. Tattva Home Harmony is dedicated to transforming living spaces using the ancient principles of Vastu Shastra, combined with the power of aesthetics to create a sacred space that supports your well being at the energy level.

Vastu Shastra, originating from ancient India, is a system of architecture and design that harmonizes the flow of energy in a space, bringing balance and positivity to the inhabitants. By incorporating Vastu principles into your home, you can enhance the energy flow, promote well-being, and invite prosperity into your life.
Vastu shastra is quiet detailed and there are various permutations and combinations. At Tattva Home Harmony, we work with you to provide you a tailored support suitable for your home, which is not limited to vastu, but includes aesthetics, energy cleansing as well.
Here are some core principles from Sthapatya Veda and Vastu Shastra.
1. Orientation and Directions
North-East (Ishan): Considered the most auspicious direction, ideal for entrances, prayer rooms, and family rooms.
South-East (Agneya): Suitable for kitchens, as it is associated with the fire element.
North-West (Vayavya): Best for guest rooms or storage areas.
South-West (Nairutya): Ideal for master bedrooms and heavy furniture.
2. Five Elements (Panchabhutas)
Vastu emphasizes balancing the five elements also called Tattva: Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Space (Akash).
Example: Water elements (like wells or fountains) should be in the North-East, while fire elements (like stoves) should be in the South-East. These are just high level details but there are a lot of permutation and combinations for the correct placement of elements.
3. Energy Flow (Prana)
The layout of a building should allow for the free flow of positive energy (Prana).
Avoid clutter, sharp corners, and blocked pathways to maintain smooth energy flow.
4. Zoning and Room Placement
Brahmasthan: The center of the house should be kept open and free of heavy objects, as it is considered the most sacred space.
Prayer Room: Should be in the North-East corner.
Kitchen: Ideally should be in the South-East corner.
5. Proportions and Measurements
Vastu prescribes specific proportions (Aayadi) for buildings, including length, width, and height, to ensure harmony and balance.
The Vastu Purusha Mandala is a key diagram used to determine the layout and proportions of a structure.
6. Materials and Construction
Use natural materials like wood, stone, and clay to align with nature.
Avoid materials that disrupt natural energy flow, such as synthetic or toxic substances.
7. Entrances and Exits
The main entrance should ideally face North, East, or North-East but main entrance can also be in many different directions and few things can be added or removed from the main entrance to make it harmonious for you and to allow the free flow of energy into your home.
Avoid having the main door directly opposite the back door, as it can lead to energy loss.
8. Color and Decor
Colors should align with the purpose of the room. For example:
White or light colors for purity in prayer rooms.
9. Land Selection
The land should be square or rectangular for balanced energy.
Avoid irregularly shaped plots or land with slopes, depressions, or obstructions.
