Vastu
Purusha Mandala is the metaphysical plan of a building that incorporates the coarsely
bodies and supernatural forces. Purusha refers to an Energy, Soul or Universal
Principle. Mandala is the generic name for any plan or chart which symbolically
represents the cosmos. Vastu Purush is worshiped during the five stages of the
construction i.e. Plot demarcation, Space clearing (Bhoomi Shodhan), Door
installation, Laying Stone for Foundation and on the day of house warming.
On any plan Vastu purusha is placed with the head in the northeast and
legs in the southwest. If we see over here floor plan, it has been
divided into various zones and there is a square grid which is being followed
and every square has a certain representation, it connotes to a certain
supernatural power and divine energy. When these grid is followed during the
construction, it is said that there would be a divine presence in the house
that will breathe and live for long.
Very interestingly we see these principles of Vastu Shastra with square grid
was followed in the planning of city Jaipur.
