When a corner is cut and there is no space to build on it, the foundation (bunyaad) is joined underground to complete the regular shape. The current then flows in the full shape, so the cut above ground causes no defect.
The cut corner of the plot
A small desi cow ghee diya and above all a bhimseni kapoor lamp, the fragrance Shikhi likes most, correct a cut, raised, dirty, uneven or toilet-affected Shikhi pad and a blocked mind.

A small turmeric plant, or better a daru haldi plant, kept in a pot at the Parjanya pad captures the sun's energy and releases it all day, bringing riddhi, siddhi, prosperity and happiness.

A cut or extended corner is corrected without construction by hanging a cloth potli filled with gomti chakra in that corner: white in the North-East, red in the South-East, yellow in the South-West and white in the North-West.
In the cut or extended corner: NE white, SE red, SW yellow, NW white
In older vastu practice mirrors were the main tool of dosh nivaran: a mirror can make a cut area look larger or an oversized extension look smaller.
At the cut or extended portion of the plot or room
For a North-East cut, for example with an exalted Ketu whose diagonal points to the North-East, a kalash is installed in the North-East with mirrors fixed all around it.
North-East
If a direction of the house is cut, quartz suited to that direction is put into the ground there to extend it, or kept in a glass bowl when that is not possible.
At the cut corner or direction
As taught in class, a convex mirror makes a small space look bigger and extends it, while a concave mirror makes a big space look smaller; so a convex mirror treats a cut and a concave mirror treats an extension. A plain mirror can also extend a cut.
North or East wall of the cut part; inside of the wall to extend, outer side to reduce
When the North and East are raised and the South and West cannot be made higher, a picture of a mountain peak such as Everest in the low-lying South or West zone changes the mind through the image and brings opportunities.
Low-lying zone among South, SSW, SW, WSW and West
The swastik represents and balances all five elements, removes vastu doshas and suppresses the troubles of the nine planets; a special vastu swastik design can extend any cut or narrow zone, such as a cut South-West.
Any cut or narrow zone; all directions allowed
No. A South-East or South-West extension is not auspicious, because a plot needs its North-East extended. Even in an East-facing gaumukhi plot with a narrow front where the South-East is a right angle, the North-East gets cut, so it is not auspicious. A nahar mukhi plot gives results only when its North-East is extended.
A cut is part of a direction missing from the plot's shape, just as a person can be missing an ear; if that part of the North-East is absent, the North-East is cut. Slope is simply the way water runs when it is poured. It forms with the construction, and where it is wrong it is corrected by raising the part that is too low.
Yes. Extending the North-East of the land from the foundation enlarges the place of its devta, who is pleased just as a person is with a bigger room, and it does not bring a South-East negative. But what truly counts as an extended North-East is taught later, because many people extend it the wrong way, for example from the East toward the North-East, and harm themselves.
Not at all. A plot with its boundary on all sides and the North-East left open as parking or a porch is not cut; the North-East is meant to stay open to the sky with less construction. A consultant who calls it cut lacks even nursery-level vastu knowledge. In one Indore case, a family who believed this left a prosperous house that only had a porch in the North-East and then suffered in two costlier houses.
Yes. If the beam and the foundation are cut, the plot is considered cut. What a cut is will be explained further with a model.
Each floor is judged from its own base: a ground floor from its foundation, a first floor from the floor it stands on. Construction built out over chhajjas becomes part of that floor, and the centre of every floor changes with its own carpet area. If one family uses all the floors, the ground floor shape is the full shape, and a smaller upper floor, such as 25 x 25 over a 50 x 50 ground floor, does not make the plot cut.
If the shortfall is on the South-West side, the South-West is cut. Simply build on an exact 31 x 31 square.
No, it is regular. Balconies are like the hair on a head; spreading hair does not change the shape of the body. The shape is the one in which the plinth beam and foundation were laid, because the underground current runs in that form.
Yes, if it is connected and fully usable. It is not treated as a cut or an extension; this will be explained later on a plan.
The flat is the part you actually enter and use. Once inside, your movement and work happen only in that area, so the part you cannot access, taken by the stairs, lift or the neighbouring flat, is a cut in your flat.
An L-shaped plot is inauspicious in the first place. There is no special formula for its ratio; estimate it from its arms. The cut portion is a full loss, and how harmful it is depends on which corner is cut, which is best judged with the teacher case by case.
Mark it the usual way: find the centre and north, place the chakra on the centre and mark the devtas. To divide the bands, take every corner of the shape, draw lines from the centre to each, apply the ratios and join the points; a similar shape forms inside. The more irregular the shape, the more complicated the work, and software makes it easier.
