Orientation, measured — not guessed.
We compute the sun's path and a home's orientation from its geometry and coordinates, then map the traditional Vastu directions as a clearly-labelled overlay. Facts and tradition, kept honestly apart.
What we actually compute
For a home with known coordinates and geometry, the sun's path is deterministic. We compute which facades and rooms receive direct light through the day and across seasons, and present it as an indicative model — not a verified on-site survey.
That sunlight model is a fact about the building. Vastu is a traditional framework many buyers in India care about. We map the two together, but we never collapse them: the measured data stays measured, and the tradition stays labelled as tradition.
The four orientations
| Facing | What the sunlight model shows |
|---|---|
| East-facing | Morning sun across living spaces; the traditionally favoured entrance orientation. |
| North-facing | Even, indirect daylight through the day; cooler interiors in Bangalore's climate. |
| West-facing | Strong afternoon and evening sun; warmer interiors, brighter late-day rooms. |
| South-facing | Long sun exposure; benefits from shading on the south elevation. |
How we keep it honest
No Vastu score. No ranking by tradition. No claim that a north-east entrance makes a home objectively better. We give you the measured orientation and a faithful description of the traditional reading, and we trust you to weigh it.
The sunlight figures are indicative computed estimates. Where we have not modelled a specific home, we say so rather than guess.
Questions
Is the Vastu rating a score I can rank homes by?
No. We do not publish a numeric Vastu score and we do not rank homes by Vastu. We show the measured orientation and sun path, and describe how it maps to traditional Vastu directions. The interpretation is yours.
Where does the sunlight analysis come from?
It is computed from the building's coordinates and geometry — the sun's path for the latitude, and which facades and rooms receive direct light through the day. It is an indicative computed estimate, not a verified survey.
Do you treat Vastu as fact?
We treat orientation and sunlight as measurable facts, and Vastu as a traditional framework that many buyers value. We present the tradition descriptively and keep it clearly separate from the measured data — we never dress a belief up as a verified number.
