Principle
Study Room Effects in Each of the 16 Zones
WSW, West, SW, East, North and NE are strong study zones and ESE suits research, while SE, SSE, South, WNW, NW and NNW disturb concentration.
Principle
West-South-West Zone: Study, Concentration and Memory
The West-South-West receives the energy of its opposite zone, the East-North-East, whose playfulness brings the water element and concentration to the neurons and glial cells. It is the best zone for study, and the sun, magnetic field and gravitational force strengthen memory here.
What it does
Places the study area where concentration and memory are strongest.
Where
West-South-West zone: study table or study room
Cautions
- If the child has a debilitated Rahu, studying here is not recommended.
Explanation and notes
When the mind is joyful the water element arises, and with it the concentration of the brain cells; the energy received here across 180 degrees from the East-North-East works the same way.

32 Outer Devtas of the 81 Pad Grid: 11.25 Degrees Each
The 81 pad grid, used for any house, factory, business or office, has 32 devtas (the 32 digpal) seated around its outer ring in the pishach bhoomi. One round covers 360 degrees, so each outer pad covers 360 divided by 32, that is 11.25 degrees, and half a pad 5.625 degrees.
Principle
Sixteen Zones of 22.5 Degrees and the Three Parts of Each Corner
Directions fall at every 90 degrees, the corner directions (vidisha) at 45 degrees and the zones at every 22.5 degrees, giving 16 zones. Each corner has three parts with different properties, for example Nairitya splits into dakshini nairitya (SSW), nairitya (SW) and paschimi nairitya (WSW).
Method
Marking the 16 Zones on a Plan With the Chakra or a Protractor
Find the centre, draw a reference line, set off the measured tilt to get exact North, then mark 22.5-degree zones starting 11.25 degrees on either side of North, using the Geo Vastu chakra or an ordinary protractor.
Method
Marking the 32 Outer Padas (Devta Pads) on a Plan
After zoning, mark the 32 outer padas of 11.25 degrees each: Soma (N5) is centred on exact North, extending 5.625 degrees on each side, and the remaining padas follow every 11.25 degrees.
Method
Zoning an Irregular Plot From a Line Parallel to the Measured Wall
For an irregular plot, measure the degree of one wall or axis, draw a line through the centre parallel to that wall, set off the measured tilt to get exact North, and then mark the zones as usual.
Principle
Which Centre to Use: Whole Plot for the Gate, Built Area for the House
On large plots such as villas, kothis and farmhouses, the whole plot inside the boundary wall is zoned for the gate and outbuildings, while the house itself is zoned on its constructed area alone.
Principle
Leave the Pishach Bhoomi Open on All Sides and Build in the South and West Part
The outer pishach bhoomi of a plot is always left open on all sides, and on a North-facing plot the building is placed in the South and West part, leaving open space for energy to enter.
Principle
North-East Zone: Clarity of Mind and the Place of Worship
About two hours before sunrise the sun sends ultraviolet rays into the North-East, which bring the greatest alertness to the neurons and glial cells of the brain. This pure energy suits the pure soul, so the North-East is the zone of clarity of mind and the place for worship.
