Vastu Dosh (flaws) are caused by imbalances in a building’s energy, stemming from incorrect construction, layout, or placement of key areas like kitchens (especially in North-East), bedrooms, bathrooms, or main entrances, violating Vastu principles. Irregular shapes, cluttered spaces, improper orientation (against cardinal directions), and misuse of elements (fire, water, etc.) also create these defects, blocking positive energy and leading to negativity, health issues, financial stress, and relationship problems.
Key Causes of Vastu Dosh:
- Wrong Room Placement:
- Kitchen: In North or North-East (clashes with water element).
- Toilet/Bathroom: In North-East or South-West.
- Bedroom: In South-East (fire zone).
- Staircase: In the center of the house.
- Improper Entrance: Main door facing wrong directions (e.g., South-West).
- Irregular Shapes & Layouts: L-shaped plots, cut or extended corners disrupt energy flow.
- Elemental Imbalance: Mixing opposite elements (fire in water zone) or neglecting space (center).
- Clutter & Obstructions: Blocked entrances or heavy items in North-East/South-East.
- Land History: Past negative uses of the land (e.g., graveyard).
Common Consequences:
- Health issues (stress, sleep problems, chronic illness).
- Financial troubles, career stagnation.
- Family arguments, relationship issues, lack of peace.
- General unease and negativity.
By correcting these architectural and design flaws according to Vastu Shastra, one can restore positive energy and harmony.
