Abstract: Vastu science is applicable to solve the building problems with planetary position and ten directions. Different planets have different directions and have specific effect on the building and persons. Vastu deals the equilibrium balance between the structures.Vastu concept can be applied in construction engineering. It is not only a religious symbol but a scientific solution also. For simple understanding it is applied and related to religion in the from of temple, forts, town planning astrology and old civilization. The architecture of India is rooted in its history, culture and religion. Indian architecture progressed with time and assimilated the many influences that came as a result of India’s global discourse with other regions of the world throughout its millennia-old past. The architectural methods practiced in India are a result of examination and implementation of its established building traditions and outside cultural interactions.Though old, this Eastern tradition has also incorporated modern values as India became a modern nation state. The economic reforms of 1991 further bolstered the urban architecture of India as the country became more integrated with the world’s economy. Traditional Vastu Shastra remains influential in India’s architecture during the contemporary era. Effort has been made to discuss how to incorporate vastu law in present constructions.
