How the vastu check works
Start at the main door and let the compass read which way it faces. Then go to the middle of your home, hold the phone flat and point its top edge at a room — the kitchen, the master bedroom, the pooja — and tap. A room's vastu zone is where it sits from the centre, not which way you face inside it, which is why consultants measure from the middle. Nivista names the zone in words before saving, and if the needle sits near the line between two zones, it asks you which side instead of guessing. Rooms land on a live mini map as you go, and you can edit everything on the full 3x3 map before you see the result. It costs no credits.
Your score, and the fixes in order
The result scores the home and lists findings room by room, with the most important fixes first. Many traditional remedies need no construction: moving the bed, the cooking direction, the pooja shelf, a colour or a light, or keeping the centre of the home open and uncluttered. The score is shown again as it would be after the fixes, so you can see which change is worth making. The engine is rules-based and transparent — the same home gives the same answer every time. It is guidance for your consideration, not a religious ruling, and it does not promise any outcome.
Practical vastu points for Indian homes
Traditional vastu commonly places the kitchen in the south-east, the master bedroom in the south-west, the pooja in the north-east and keeps the centre of the home (the brahmasthan) open; it prefers that toilets stay out of the north-east. In a flat you cannot rebuild, focus on what you can change: the direction you face while cooking, sleeping and praying, where heavy furniture stands, and keeping the north-east light and clutter-free. For an accurate reading, take the phone off its case if it has a magnet, keep away from the fridge, steel almirahs and the inverter, and remember an indoor compass is good to roughly ten degrees.
Vastu in your plans and designs
If you are building, choose the Indian style when Nivista draws your house plan: rooms are placed with vastu in mind and the plan is given a vastu score, judged on the ground floor. The global style leaves vastu out entirely, for families who prefer open plans. In the web studio, a finished room design lists the vastu tips it followed. Whether you follow vastu closely or simply like knowing, the aim is the same: a home that is well lit, well ventilated and arranged around how your family actually lives.
