Shankusthapana Vastu & Direction: The Ishanya Corner
Shankusthapana Vastu & Direction
How Vastu governs Bhumi Puja — the Vastu Purusha Mandala and the north-east (Ishanya) corner where the shanku is placed.
Why direction matters
Shankusthapana is governed by Vastu. The Vastu Purusha Mandala maps the deities and energies of the plot, and the ceremony aligns the new structure with these cosmic directions — which is why the placement and the corner are chosen with care.
Where the shanku is placed
North-east (Ishanya)
The most auspicious corner — the shanku and naga are placed here.
Vastu Purusha Mandala

Per-site guidance
