Sanskrit
The Sanskrit language occupies an important place among the classical languages that still have a historical value, besides being replete with rich literary and semantic qualities.
Vāstuśāstra
Vāstuśāstra is an ancient Indian system of architecture and design that outlines principles for creating harmonious living and working spaces. It offers guidelines on how to plan, construct, and organize buildings so that they align with natural forces and promote well-being. Vāstu principles guide various aspects of architecture, including the orientation of buildings, room placement, proportions, materials, and aesthetics.
