Bhoomi Pariksha


As per vaastu it is very importat to check the suitability of land before construction. Thousands of years back our sages suggests some rules, some of which are still followed by the modern students of engineering.

Method -1

At the centre of plot dig a pit of dimension 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft. The same pit has to be filled with evacuated soil. If the pit is completely filled with no remains of soil then it indicates that plot is of average quality as far as bearing capacity of soil is concern. If extra soil remains left then that plot gives good wealth. On the other hand if all the evacuated soil gets fell short for filling the pit then that plot results in loss of wealth.

Method - II

At the centre of plot dig a pit of dimension 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft. Fill the pit with water. Examiner should follow 100 steps towards North direction and return back to examine the pit. If the water level remains same, then that plot is beneficial to reside. If water totally disappear than reject that site.

Method –III

At the centre of plot dig a pit of dimension 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft. light a lamp in it in 4 cardinal directions in a pit. If the lamp of eastern direction burns for the longer time then it indicates that the site is suitable for Brahmins. Similarly for northern lamp,western lamp and southern lamp indications are for kashtriyas,vaishya and shudras respectively.


Other methods

Even today in villages auspiciousness of site is done by ploughing the seeds on site and then examining the number of days taken to germinate them. This give fair indications of suitability of site to a particular person. Last but not least the color,odour,flavour and the articles found during diging throws decisive hints about suitability. For example while digging if one found bones,torn clothes,ash,hairs etc then it is inauspicious to reside on such land
