Vastu Plot Calculator — Check Shape, Direction & Street Score

A square plot is the best shape as per Vastu Shastra — all four sides equal, representing perfect balance. A rectangular plot with a width-to-length ratio not exceeding 1:2 is the second best choice. Both shapes allow uniform energy flow across all eight directions.

A Gaumukhi plot (narrow front, wide rear) is good for residential use when its narrow front faces a south or south-east street. The wide rear accumulates energy for the family. It is considered inauspicious when the narrow front faces north (wide part is at the back, blocking wealth energy).

A Shermukhi plot (wide front, narrow rear) is better suited for commercial properties. A north-street Shermukhi plot is considered auspicious for business. For residential use it requires specific floor plan planning to compensate for the narrow rear.

North and east facing plots are most auspicious for residential use in Vastu Shastra. North is the direction of Kuber (wealth god) and attracts financial prosperity. East brings positive morning solar energy and supports health. North-east corner plots are considered the most sacred of all. South-facing plots are not inherently bad but require specific remedies.

Not always. A Veedhi Shula (road pointing directly at the plot) is auspicious when the road comes from the North-North-East (NNE) or East-North-East (ENE) — these are considered the only two favourable street focus directions in classical Vastu Shastra. All other directions are unfavourable, with south-west, south, and south-east being the worst. Dead-end roads are generally inauspicious in all directions.

Yes, a south-facing plot can be good with proper planning. The common belief that all south-facing plots are inauspicious is a Vastu myth. What matters is the correct placement of the main door, kitchen in the south-east, and master bedroom in the south-west. Many south-facing homes score well on our Vastu calculator.

A corner plot's Vastu depends on which two sides have roads. A North+East corner plot is considered very auspicious — it combines the wealth direction (north) with the sunlight direction (east). A South+West corner plot is generally unfavourable. Use our free plot score to check your specific corner configuration.

Firm, fertile soil with good drainage is considered auspicious in Vastu Shastra. Black or clay soil with poor drainage is less favourable. Rocky terrain in the south and south-west is considered good as it provides stability. Avoid plots with waterlogged, marshy, or loose sandy soil in the south-west corner.

The VastuReport plot Vastu score is calculated by evaluating four parameters: plot shape (62 variants including all Gaumukhi and Shermukhi types), street positions around the plot (90+ configurations), street focus or Veedhi Shula type, and nearby water body direction. Each parameter is weighted based on classical Vastu Shastra principles and the combined score gives a percentage rating. Plot facing direction is determined by which side the street is on and is captured through street position scoring.

Some plot-level Vastu defects can be partially remedied through compound wall design, landscaping, water features, and specific construction techniques. However, shape-based defects (triangular, L-shaped plots) are much harder to remedy than directional defects. This is why Vastu experts strongly recommend checking Vastu before purchasing a plot rather than after.
