Vasthu Sharstra is a Hindu/Sanskrit term for a Hindu method of systematic design, and mainly seen within the field of (Indian) architecture.

There is no direct English equivalent, so the term Vasthu Sharstra could appropriately be pronounced as it has written in the English alphabet, with the emphasis on the first syllable of each word.

Due to Indian and 'English' regional variations of pronunciation, sometimes the English-equivalent spellings also vary:

e.g.

vasthu / vastu / vaastu

sastra / sharstra / shastra /

The concept of Vastu Shastra is that of balance in nature, and of expressing this in geometric forms for the happiness and benefit of humans, particularly in the plans and layout of buildings and their decorative features.
