“Owning a home is a keystone of wealth – both financial affluence and emotional security” 

– Suze Orman

India is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies and its cities are also growing at the same pace. Apart from metropolitan cities, Tier-2 cities are also growing at the same pace and Lucknow is one of them. Buying Apartments in Lucknow is a smart investment. You get exposed to a lot of opportunities that aim towards a positive and happier future for you and your family. 

A well-built home is going to bring you pride and pleasure for many years to come, so the choice of your new home should be efficient and wise. Before you start investing in your dream home, you need to understand a lot of factors that come into the picture, Vastu being a major one of them. 

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Hindu system of architecture. It is the “science of architecture” and acts as a bridge between man and nature, providing the Do’s and Dont’s that should be followed during the construction phase of a home for a happy life. Many people disregard Vastu Shastra when buying a new home. They doubt its relevance in the current economic scenario and environment. A huge myth that exists in the society is that Vastu is relevant for the upper class, and does not apply to the middle and low-income groups.

Comebacks are now trending, not just with fashion, furniture, and music, but also with customs, traditions, and beliefs. A lifestyle that follows Vastu is back with a modern twist and people are understanding its importance while investing in Real Estate.

Here are some Vastu tips, which may help home buyers while planning their dream home. 

Doorway to Happiness

Vastu Shastra has great importance for the entrance door in a home. Many energies, either positive or negative, enter and exit a house through the doorway. Follow these guidelines in order to keep bad energy away from your joyous home:

• The main door should face North, East or North-East direction.
• If you want to face the main entrance door towards North, make sure you face it in the North-East direction, as it will provide you with morning sun rays which will be beneficial for your physical health as well as keep your house enlightened. 
• Make sure that the main door of your house is the largest amongst all the doors.
• A two-shuttered main door opening inside, as well as outside is considered auspicious for your new home.
• For the entrance, only use premium quality wood to ensure the entrance of positive energies.

A Healthy Family is a Happy Family
