For those who follow vastu, believe that many of their life problems can be solved by simply tending to the energies of the space they live in. With rearrangement of furniture, choosing the right colours for the walls and bringing in vastu-verified decor pieces, domestic peace can be attained. Finding the right expert, at the right time may not be easy, though. So, instead of scrolling through various names and numbers online (we understand the pain), we decided to bring the expert to your doorstep. AD has specially empanelled expert Ankur Anand Saini, to address all your troubles—so get ready, get vastu-ed!

AD’s Vastu Guide: Who is Mr Vastu?

Saini has been practicing the science of Astroarchitecture® for the past 5 years. He is trained by his mother Neeta Sinha, who in fact has been practicing the art for 30 years. Mr. Vastu has been instrumental in helping several clients balance the energies of their homes and offices.

AD’s Vastu Guide: How to Participate

For this series, we invite readers to send in their floor plans (of homes or offices) via email. These can be properties that are rented or owned. On the floor plan, you need to clearly mark the bedrooms, position of beds, mirrors and directions (east, west, north, south). Mention your full name; if the home has been given a name, that too needs to be mentioned. Along with the floor plan, you can either pen down, in points, the issues you are facing at home and in your personal life; or write set of questions you’d like to ask Mr. Vastu. Email all these details at

Owner’s name: Rakesh Ahujha

1. How can I improve the profits of my bag manufacturing business?
2. My grandmother’s health is a concern (bedroom on 1st floor next to washing area). How can we ensure her health remains stable?

AD’s Vastu Guide: Floor Plan 1 – Solutions

  1. Cover all mirrors, if any, in both the dressing areas (ground and first floor) of the house. You can open the mirror when you want to use it and keep it shut (inside a cabinet) the rest of the time. Exposed mirrors in this area will give you constant minor health issues and legal problems.
  2. Use bright yellow or bright orange elements like floor mat, paintings, artificial flowers, vases, cushion cover etc., in this room; the dweller of this space possibly has frequent health issues and mood swings.
  3. Place a drooping money plant in this toilet. Make sure the vines are at least 2 feet long.
  4. The entrance to the washing area on the first floor is from the outside and the exit from the dining is towards the lawn on the ground floor; both spaces are in a negative sector. We recommend you shift this door on both the first floor and ground floor on the side as marked on your floor plan. Also avoid placing a mirror in the dining area as well as in the washing area upstairs.
  5. If there are mirrors in this place, reduce its size by frosting it or keeping it closed.
  6. Add Ferrari red elements in this area of your house. It could be a floor mat, bucket, tissue paper box, towels etc. This will help improve the finances of your household.
  7. Add bright yellow and bright orange elements in this bedroom. Whoever is using this room is generally restless, irritable or hyper. Try to avoid going to the balcony from this bedroom and also the one directly below it, to cut down on your expenses and losses.
  8. Avoid any mirrors that are facing each other inside the house. It could be open mirrors or ones that are placed inside a cabinet.

Owner’s name: Mukkul Jain

1. How do we ensure general well-being in the house?
2. How do we encourage the children to be more study-oriented (bedroom on the left of the drawing room)?

AD’s Vastu Guide: Floor Plan 2 – Solutions

  1. Use Ferrari red elements in this corner of the house and the adjacent toilet for improving the general well-being and finances of your family.
  2. Avoid any mirror in this area, as that will create delays and struggle.
  3. Use Ferrari red elements in this toilet like towels, candles, tissue paper box, potpourri bowls etc. This is for the healthy growth of your children.
  4. Make sure you use bright red cloth for the deities in the puja room. Ring the prayer bells loudly here everyday for a minute even if you are not performing any rituals. This will help improve your children’s academic performance.
  5. The person using this bed regularly usually has constant health issues and mood swings. Use bright orange or bright yellow bed sheet. Also use the same hues in the guest bedroom.
  6. Avoid using this exit door to the verandah from the master bedroom as it will cause disharmony and conflict amongst the members of the house. It will also increase your expenses and losses.
  7. Place a red doormat at the entrance of the house. It will increase your self confidence and also make the house more welcoming.
  8. Avoid any mirrors that are facing each other, inside the house.
