Vastu in Delhi homes: what buyers commonly look for

Many Delhi buyers consider Vastu when choosing a home. Here's a practical overview of the common preferences.

Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of architecture. Whether or not you follow it, it affects demand — and therefore resale — in Delhi.

Common preferences

• Entrance facing: East and North are widely preferred; many buyers are flexible.
• Kitchen: South-East is traditionally favoured.
• Master bedroom: South-West.
• Puja room: North-East.
• Toilets: buyers often avoid the North-East corner.

Plot shape

Square or rectangular plots are preferred over irregular shapes.

Practical advice

• Don't let one factor override location, light and layout.
• If resale matters, a layout that suits common preferences can widen your pool of buyers.
• Many interior adjustments are possible after purchase.

Entrances and facing in South Delhi

Plots in South Delhi face every direction, and a park-facing or corner plot often matters more to buyers than the compass direction alone. Many families who follow Vastu are comfortable with any facing if the internal layout follows their preferences.

Room placement

Builders in South Delhi often design layouts with Vastu in mind, especially the kitchen, the puja space and the master bedroom. When you compare floors, look at the floor plan alongside the facing.

Practical adjustments

• Move the puja space to a preferred corner
• Rearrange furniture and bed positions
• Use colours and lighting to balance spaces

Frequently asked questions

Does facing affect price? In some colonies, East- and North-facing homes see slightly stronger demand, but park-facing, corner, floor level and build quality usually matter more.

Can I change a layout after buying? Many internal changes are possible, but structural walls, plumbing stacks and kitchens are harder to move.
