Vaastu Shastra or the science of construction is primarily based on the study of directions and the resulting accuracy and alignment of designs. While initially, it was restricted only to the architecture of temples, with the passage of time, it has gradually penetrated into our lives as well. The world, as per this study, is comprised of five basic elements- Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space -and the mixture of each of these elements produces a point, in a certain direction, which can bring harmony in our actions and boost up the level of excellence in our deeds.
