Vastu Shastra for Factory : In the modern industrial landscape, efficiency and productivity are paramount. However, many business owners are increasingly looking beyond conventional strategies to enhance their operations.

This is where Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian science of architecture, comes into play. Applying Vastu principles to your factory can create a harmonious environment, optimize energy flow, and potentially lead to increased prosperity and fewer operational hurdles.

What is Vastu Shastra?

Vastu Shastra is a traditional system of architecture that literally translates to “science of architecture.” It is based on ancient texts that describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry. The designs aim to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilizing geometric patterns, symmetry, and directional alignments.

Key Vastu Principles of Vastu Shastra for Factory Design

When designing or renovating a factory, several Vastu principles are crucial for ensuring a positive energy flow and maximizing benefits.

1. Land Selection and Land Energy

The shape and slope of the land are important because Land Energy accounts for around 90 % of the energy flow in Vastu Shastra.

A square or rectangular plot is considered ideal. The land should slope towards the north or east, as these directions are associated with positive energy flow. Avoid irregularly shaped plots or those with major depressions in the south or west.

2. Main Entrance in Vastu Shastra for Factory

The main entrance to the factory should ideally be in the North, East, or North-East directions. These directions are considered auspicious and are believed to bring in wealth and prosperity. Avoid South or South-West entrances. 

However, there is no absolute rule of thumb. North, East or North East is always favorable for any factory owner.

It is crucial to confirm the astrological birth chart of the Factory Owner before deciding on the layout for the factory and the most favorable orientation for his initial startup. The reason is that not every direction and sub-direction will be beneficial for everyone.

For example, if Mercury is a weak degree or unlucky within your lagan kundali, This means that for Jatak for the North directions are not a good one. 

3. Layout and Zones in Vastu Shastra for Factory Design

Proper zoning of the factory general layout is essential for optimal energy distribution.

Zone	Ideal Direction	Purpose
Administration Office	North, East, North-East	Focus on decision-making, finance, and marketing
Production Area	South, South-East, North-West	High-energy activities, manufacturing processes
Finished Goods Storage	North-West	Facilitates quick movement and distribution
Raw Material Storage	South-West	Ensures stability and long-term supply
Electrical Equipment/Generators	South-East	Controls and manages fire elements
Workers’ Quarters/Canteen	North-West, South-East	Ensures comfort and efficiency for staff
Toilets/Waste Disposal	North-West, South of South-West	Minimizes negative impact

4. Machine Placement

Heavy machinery should ideally be placed in the South or South-West parts of the factory to ensure stability and smooth operation. Lighter machinery can be placed in the North-West.

5. Water Bodies and Underground Water Tanks in Vastu Shastra for Factory

Underground water tanks or borewells should be in the North-East direction. Overhead water tanks can be placed in the South-West or West directions, but not in the North-East.

6. Colors for Vastu Shastra for Factory

The colors used in the factory can also impact energy. Light and bright colors like white, cream, light blue, and light green are generally preferred as they promote a positive and airy atmosphere. Avoid dark and dull colors, especially in production areas.

But I would suggest taking the colour as per zone and elements. See the table below to select the Colors for Vastu Shastra for Factory.

Zone	Colour
NNW to North East	Blue
ENE to ESE	Green
SE to South	Red
SSW to SW	Yellow
WSW to NW	White

7. Slope

The slope plays a vital aspect in the success or the failure of any vastu area regardless of whether it’s a rented space or a property owned. 

It is not a matter of whether the location of the main entrance is good or not. However, if the slope is not maintained according to principles in Vastu Shastra for a factory then there will be a problem with the Factory and/or Ware House would not get the benefit it ought to be.
