Significance of Vastu Puja

Overview

Houses or offices constructed according to Vastu Shastra are considered to be auspicious. However, all residences and workplaces aren’t built according to Vastu Shastra. This may cause misfortune and bad luck. It is possible to fix the Vastu Dosh of an edifice without changing anything physically. This can be done by performing Vastu Puja. This puja is also important for those who are moving into a new house.

Vastu is known as the science of architecture. It is followed to ensure that house is constructed according to the energy field of earth and the planet position. However, due to the lack of space people are unable to construct a house according to the rules of Vastu Shastra. To rectify the faulty construction and to purify all the negative effects, a Vastu puja is performed before moving into a new house.
