Vastu for Bungalows
Building or buying your own bungalow is one of the biggest decisions of your life. A Vastu-compliant bungalow is more than a beautiful home — it becomes a source of positive energy that supports every member of the family in health, wealth, career, relationships and spiritual growth. Dr. Kimaya guides you through every stage, from plot selection and architectural design to interior placement and energy activation.
01
Stage 1: Plot Selection for a Bungalow
The foundation of a Vastu-compliant bungalow begins with the right plot. Key factors to evaluate:
Shape
Square or rectangular plots are ideal. Avoid L-shaped or triangular plots.
Slope
The plot should slope towards the North or East for positive energy inflow.
Road facing
North- or East-facing plots are the most auspicious.
Underground water
Borewells and water sources should be in the North or North-East.
Surroundings
No graveyard, cremation ground or hospital immediately adjacent.
Soil
Soil should be firm and clean, with no history of toxic waste or burial.
02
Stage 2: Building Layout & Architecture
Once the plot is finalised, the building layout must be designed with Vastu principles.
Main gate
The compound's main gate should be in the North, East or North-East. It should be well lit and inviting, and never blocked by a tree or structure directly in front.
Main entrance door
The bungalow's main door should ideally be in the North, East or North-East. It should be larger than the other doors and made of high-quality solid wood.

Room Placement by Direction
North-East — Mandir / open space
Spiritual energy, mental clarity, wisdom.
East — Bathroom / living room
Health, vitality, morning sun energy.
South-East — Kitchen
Fire zone — ideal for cooking.
South — Store room / staircase
Heavy storage, stability.
South-West — Master bedroom
Stability, authority, deep sleep.
West — Children's room / dining
Discipline, nourishment.
North-West — Guest room / garage
Movement, guest energy.
North — Living room / study
Wealth zone, career, new opportunities.
Centre (Brahmasthan) — Open, no construction
The energy hub — must remain open and clean.

Stage 3: Garden & Exterior Vastu
Garden, swimming pool or water body
Best in the North or East of the plot.
Tall trees
Plant only in the South or West, to avoid blocking sunlight from the North and East.
Tulsi plant
Ideal in the North-East or East of the garden.
Compound wall
South and West walls should be higher and thicker than North and East walls.
Garage
Ideal in the South-East or North-West corner of the plot.

Stage 4: Interior & Décor Vastu
- Use earthy, warm tones for South and South-West walls (brown, terracotta, yellow).
- Use cool, light colours for North and East walls (white, cream, light blue, light green).
- Staircases should be in the South, South-West or West — never in the North-East.
- The overhead water tank should be in the South-West and never in the North-East.
- The septic tank should be in the North-West or South-East — never in the North-East or South-West.
प्रश्न FAQs
Questions about Bungalow
When is the best time to do Vastu for a bungalow?
Ideally before construction begins — at the plot selection stage. However, Vastu assessment and remedies can be applied at any stage, including after construction and occupation.
Can I modify the bungalow layout during construction based on Vastu?
Yes, and this is the best time. Dr. Kimaya offers design-stage consultancy in which room placements, entrance positions and internal layouts are optimised before construction begins, saving cost and effort.
What is Brahmasthan and why should it be open?
Brahmasthan is the central zone of any Vastu space — the energy hub that distributes prana (life energy) to all other zones. Any construction, pillar, staircase or toilet in the centre blocks this flow, affecting the entire home.
We have an L-shaped plot. Can a bungalow be built on it?
L-shaped plots are considered to have a 'cut' in one direction, which can create specific Vastu defects. Dr. Kimaya can advise on designing the bungalow layout to minimise the impact of the irregular shape.
Which direction is ideal for a bungalow's main door?
The main door should ideally be in the North, East or North-East. It should be larger than the other doors and made of high-quality solid wood, and the compound's main gate should also be in the North, East or North-East.
Where should the water tank and septic tank be in a bungalow?
The overhead water tank should be in the South-West and never in the North-East. The septic tank should be in the North-West or South-East, never in the North-East or South-West.
Where should the staircase be in a bungalow as per Vastu?
Staircases should be in the South, South-West or West, and never in the North-East. The South zone also suits store rooms and heavy storage.
