The Vastu is considered as a science rather than the myth. These are the rules set up by ancient Hindu people based on their research for the well-being of mankind. The Vastu will start from the selection of the best plot and will continue in each and every aspect until the house is constructed. Usually, during the time of the purchase of the plot or the land, people will not look into the Vastu and later repent for not having the best Vastu setup. This may also be due to the fewer availability of land or due to the increased cost of Vastu complaint land.
The best shapes for the Vastu complaint land is square and rectangular. But, in half of the cases, it’s difficult to find such a piece of land. In those cases, always buy the Trapezoidal Gaumukhi land where the outer projection towards the road is less and towards the back is more. Do not go with the reverse combination of the trapezoidal land (Simhamukhi) as its considered to be extremely disadvantageous. Such plots are best for commercial purposes. Also avoid any other shaped land or plot which is triangular, circular, oval or the plot where North East side of the land is cut; its like head being chopped off from the property.
Here are some tips to be considered before buying the plots
