Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. For Vastu-conscious buyers, it's also one of the most spiritually significant. But how do you actually evaluate a property's Vastu alignment — especially when you're looking at dozens of homes?
Here's a practical step-by-step guide to checking a home's Vastu score before you make an offer.
The Old Way: Hire a Consultant
Traditionally, evaluating a home's Vastu required booking a Vastu consultant, scheduling a site visit, waiting days for a report, and paying anywhere from $100 to $500+ per property. For buyers shortlisting 10–20 homes, that's simply not practical.
The New Way: AI-Powered Vastu Analysis
Apps like Ishana have changed this entirely. You can now get a complete Vastu analysis for any property in under 60 seconds — free.
Check the Facing Direction
The most important Vastu factor is the direction the main entrance faces. Northeast is most auspicious. Ishana calculates this automatically using satellite imagery and GPS — no compass required.
Evaluate the Zone Layout
Vastu assigns different zones to different functions. Northeast should be light and open. Southwest is ideal for the master bedroom. Kitchen belongs in the Southeast. Major structural violations are harder to remedy than cosmetic ones.
Check the Surroundings
What's outside matters too. Roads, water bodies, slopes, and neighboring structures all affect Vastu. A home at a T-junction (known as "Veedhi Shula") is traditionally considered problematic.
Get a Full Score
A comprehensive Vastu score considers 6+ factors: facing direction, zone layout, entrance placement, room assignments, surrounding environment, and more. Ishana's AI scores all of these and gives you a single number out of 100 — so you can compare properties at a glance.
Consult an Expert for Borderline Cases
For homes scoring 70–85, a consultation with a Vastu expert helps understand what remedies are possible. Ishana lets you book an expert directly from the app for deeper guidance.
