Vastushastra is an ancient Indian science of architecture and construction that focuses on the design and layout of buildings to promote harmony and well-being. It incorporates principles derived from nature, the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space), and cosmic energies to create spaces that enhance health, prosperity, and overall quality of life.
