If you are new to Vastu, then you must have a basic knowledge of its principles. Vastu is the ancient Hindu science of building and architecture. Vastu consists of the study of the properties of various materials and their interaction with each other. It is also concerned with the placement of the main entrance of the house and the direction in which the various rooms are located. Vastu is the science of placement and is considered a part of the larger science of astrology.

It is based on the concept of a center of the universe. In a similar way to the way the earth is the center of the universe, so all things are located on the earth, the center of the universe. The different rooms of the house are the planets of the solar system. The main entrance is the sun, the life-giving force. It is the planet that gives life and is the source of all life and energy. The different planets are the different houses of the house.
