A water body in the northeast brings peace. People experience a tranquil feeling. Water in the northeast zone improves the social connections with the devotees and attract more of them. It acts like a magnet. Furthermore, there is a huge nakshatra garden and riverfront towards the east. This adds the Vastu strength of the place.

Open space

Open space in the northeast block is believed to bless people with royal pleasure and strong spiritual vibrations. According to Vastu, open space in the north-east is called a breathing space which increases the popularity of the place. The open space is more exposed to sunlight to a large extent. This makes it a highly blissful place. This divine place has a huge attraction due to its fine architecture. The energy here is amazing.

As per our research and the experience of may other Vastu experts, open space in the northeast has a healing vibration. Sick people feel more comfortable and cured in such a place. People suffering from frequent illnesses should visit such places.

Elevation & slope

The site has a slope towards the east, which promotes harmony and brightens the image of the sacred place. It takes place more famous in the entire region. The lower level at the east is always considered auspicious. This will bring name and fame to the temple resulting in the inflow of new visitors. It has enormous potential to become a top tourist destination.  Elevated west higher than the east is bound to ensure uninterrupted success.

Main temple

This temple has a Lord Swaminarayan idol on the west. Even the most famous temples have the same arrangements. When the devotee faces west the deity faces east, there is more open space in the east available in the front. Hence open space in the east zone supports Vastu requirements. This arrangement should not be considered when arranging a temple in the home or offices. It showers beautiful blessings on the devotees and visitors. The big entrance towards the East is called a door of glory. Lord invites people of all sorts to draw close to him during the prayer through an auspicious door.

Five key elements of Vastu generates beneficial energy individually as well as collectively.  They are nature’s five angels of positivity, prosperity, and peace.

Following five natural elements of Vastu performs a miracle at such location:-

1. North East (water element) water flow from south to North & Northeast
2. South East (fire element)  Foodcourt, premvati
3. South West (earth element) higher zone  with temple and admin area
4. North West (Wind element) Guest area
5. Centre (Space element) Open to Sky

The presence of the above strong five elements creates a long-lasting positive image for the holy place. These natural forces are well channelized in the Vastu planning of the temple complex.  Also, they will prove to be major partners in the success of this divine location.

Negative features:-

Vastu gives lots of importance to the entrances. Vastu is all about energy and vibrations.  The main entrance of the complex falls in the south zone of the entire plot. It may impact the delay in the implementation of decisions taken by the administration.  Due to this prosperity and income of the temple may suffer. Anyways, multiple strong features of these holy places are nullifying the bad placement of the front entrance.

Suggestions:-

• Temple authority should build a pyramid meditation room in the northeast zone to improve the tranquil vibes to the devotees and visitors.
• The entrance towards the southeast (Premvati entrance) is more auspicious according to Vastu.
• Plant multiple amla tree in the northeast of the complex will further improve the flow of divine vibrations.

We believe that temple will enjoy never-ending popularity and patronage all over the world.
