Ati Marma Check for Sudden Quarrels, Losses and Unexplained Illness
When a house built to good Vastu suddenly sees quarrels, business loss, restless children, bad dreams or a family member who stays ill, check what sits on its ati marma points. Shoes, a dustbin, a used plate or heavy goods placed there can trigger such trouble, and moving them brings quick relief.

Biological Warning Signs: Babool, Thorny Trees, Snake Anthills and Red Ants
Land where babool, thorny, poisonous or milky-sap trees dominate, where snake anthills (baambi) abound, or where insects and red ants swarm moving anti-clockwise, has poor energy and should not be used for living.
Testing
Bucket-of-Water Test to Find a Floor's Slope
To find whether a floor or plot is low toward the South-West or slopes toward the North-East, pour water on it and watch where it flows; a spirit level, or a contour map for land, gives the same answer.
Testing
Check Factory Machines with a Spirit Level to Stop Breakdowns

Clay Pot Water Movement Test for a Flat
Where no pit can be dug, such as a flat on the 27th floor, a round earthen vessel filled with water shows the flat's energy by the direction in which the water moves and how clean it stays.
Testing
Coconut Dowsing for Ground Water and Mineral Pockets
A long, dry coconut with a heavy kernel is carried on a flat palm over the land; the hydro current rising from underground water, or from a mineral pocket after a mental command, makes it move, jump or dip.
Testing
Coconut Dowsing for Land Energy with a Water-Filled Coconut
A water-filled coconut is carried on the palm across the land; where it keeps moving and feels lighter the energy is very good, and where it stays still and grows heavier the energy is locked and not good.
Testing
Coconut Oil Lamp Test for Bhrisha Devta Activation
Light a lamp of pure coconut oil at the Bhrisha pad: if the devta is active it burns for a long time; if it goes out at once or the oil changes colour while burning, the devta is not active.
Testing
Coconut Throw Test for the Gravitational Pull of a Land
A coconut thrown up on a land falls towards the direction of its strongest gravitational force; falling in an auspicious direction shows good energy, falling towards the South-South-West, West or South shows bad energy.
Testing
Coconut Toss Test from the Brahmasthan
A water-filled coconut is thrown at least 10 feet straight up from the centre of the land; where it lands, drawn by the land's positive or negative force, shows whether the land is good for living, for labour or for industry.
Testing
Copper L-Rod Dowsing for Land Energy and Buried Negativity
Walking a land with two copper L-rods in Surya swar, the intensity of their turning shows how energetic the land is; an anticlockwise turn marks a negative-energy element buried below, and rods that stick still and heavy mark an obstructed, cursed land.

Defects Revealed by Bhog Offering: Cracking Tiles and Itching in the Body

Testing

Finding the Best Direction, Rooms and Colours from the Birth Chart

Five-Element (Bhoomi Tatva) Balance Test on a Land
Vastu is the balanced harmony of the five elements, so a land is checked for each one: fire at sunrise, air by holding the breath near a tree, water by the ground water condition, earth by how walking on it feels, and space by gazing at the sky.

Five-Point Soil Sampling: Four Corners and Brahmasthan
The correct way to sample a land is to take five soil samples, one from each of the four corners (vidishas) and one from the Brahmasthan, so that the five elements are represented.
Testingध्वज
Flag (Dhwaj) Test for Land, Flat and Industrial Land
A flag with flowers tied inside is hoisted on the East side of a land, flat or industrial plot in an auspicious muhurta or in Chandra swar and then released; the direction in which it flies reveals the land's quality.

Ghat Diya with Four Coloured Wicks to Find the Defective Direction
A ghee diya with white, red and yellow wicks pointing to the four directions is lit on a water-filled earthen ghat in the North-East, over a mantra written in kesar; a wick that goes out before the ghee ends points to the direction holding a defect.

Ghat Vidhi: Wheat Javare Under a Water Kalash in the North-East
