Residential towers against an evening sky

For many families in Gujarat, Vastu is not optional. It shapes which flat in a tower they will consider at all. The good news is that the most commonly checked points can be read straight off a floor plan, before you visit.

The points buyers ask about most

  • Main entrance: east and north facing entrances are traditionally preferred.
  • Kitchen: the south-east corner is considered ideal for the cooking area.
  • Master bedroom: the south-west zone is traditionally recommended.
  • Pooja room: north-east is the preferred corner.
  • Toilets: ideally away from the north-east.

Reading a floor plan

Find the north arrow on the plan first. Many brochures rotate plans for layout, so the top of the page is not always north. Then divide the flat into a three-by-three grid and note which rooms fall in which zone.

Run a Vastu check

If Vastu is a priority, tell your Mera Pata advisor at the start. We shortlist units by facing and layout so you only visit homes that already fit.
