Description
This framed image depicts the “Vastu Purusha Mandala,” an essential aspect of Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture. The central figure is the Vastu Purusha, a cosmic being symbolizing space and energy, who is shown reclining within a grid that divides the space into multiple sections. Each section of the grid represents a specific direction, deity, or cosmic force that governs that part of a structure.
In this image, various deities such as Brahma, Mitra, Aryaman, and others are shown occupying different sections of the grid, each controlling different directions like the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest. The positioning of the Vastu Purusha, along with the deities surrounding him, plays a crucial role in determining the energy flow and spatial organization in traditional Indian architecture, guiding the construction and placement of structures for harmony with nature.
The Vastu Purusha Mandala is integral in planning homes, temples, and other buildings in alignment with cosmic energies, ensuring balance and prosperity.
