astu shastra (vāstu śāstra) is a traditional Indian system of architecture originating in India[2] which


literally translates to "science of architecture."[3] These are texts found on the Indian subcontinent that
describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and
spatial geometry.[4][5] Vastu Shastras incorporate traditional Hindu and in some cases Buddhist
beliefs.[6] The designs are intended to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of
various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilising geometric patterns (yantra), symmetry,
and directional alignments.[7][8]
Vastu Shastra are the textual part of Vastu Vidya, the latter being the broader knowledge about
architecture and design theories from ancient India.[9] Vastu Vidya knowledge is a collection of ideas
and concepts, with or without the support of layout diagrams, that are not rigid. Rather, these ideas
and concepts are models for the organisation of space and form within a building or collection of
buildings, based on their functions in relation to each other, their usage and to the overall fabric of
the Vastu.[9] Ancient Vastu Shastra principles include those for the design of Mandir (Hindu temples),
[10]
 and the principles for the design and layout of houses, towns, cities, gardens, roads, water works,
shops and other public areas.[5][11][12]

Terminology[edit]
The Sanskrit word vāstu means a dwelling or house with a corresponding plot of land.
[13]
 The vrddhi, vāstu, takes the meaning of "the site or foundation of a house, site, ground, building or
dwelling-place, habitation, homestead, house". The underlying root is vas "to dwell, live, stay,
reside".[14] The term shastra may loosely be translated as "doctrine, teaching".
Vāstu-Śastras (literally, science of dwelling) are ancient Sanskrit manuals of architecture. These
contain Vastu-Vidya (literally, knowledge of dwelling).[15]

History[edit]
Proposals tracing potential links of the principles of composition in Vastu Shastra and the Indus
Valley Civilization have been made, but Kapila Vatsyayan is reluctant to speculate on such links
given the Indus Valley script remains undeciphered.[16] According to Chakrabarti, Vastu Vidya is as
old the Vedic period and linked to the ritual architecture.[17] According to Michael W. Meister,
the Atharvaveda contains verses with mystic cosmogony which provide a paradigm for cosmic
planning, but they did not represent architecture nor a developed practice.[18] Varahamihira's Brihat
Samhita dated to the sixth century CE, states Meister, is the first known Indian text that describes
"something like a vastupurusamandala to plan cities and buildings".[18] The emergence of Vastu vidya
as a specialised field of science is speculated to have occurred significantly before the 1st-century
CE.[17]
