The Vedha happens to be across the river, it does not form part of a Dosh.
The Vedha is not applicable to lower caste.
Dilapidated temple or ancient building or restored house causes no Vedha Dosh.
Silpa Acharya Garga Muni has said Mind and eyes feel satisfied at a first glance,
such Vastu are always innocent
Building devoid of Vastu doctrines, but increases positive feelings in mind and
liked by eyes, it is free from Vastu Dosh.
Sukracharya has observed that Scholars do not appreciate the buildings which do
not conform to Shastriya dimensions. But few scholars feel What so ever house
may be if it is captivating and satisfying, Vastu Dosh should be ignored.
Rule Nos Viii, IX and X are based on aesthetic aspects. Rule no I, is inter linked with ii
which covers height and orientation of building. Rule no iii & iv deals barriers and rule no v
relates to the human eye field of vision. Rule no vi and vii are related to caste and fractured
and repaired old buildings.
Rule no i and ii reveals the insight of our Shilpa Acharyas on solar azimuth and altitude at
different hours of the day. They have determined the distance between building and Vedha
as two heights. To prove the point, examine following table.

Altitude of sun and height of object or building is known, the distance can be worked out
trigonometrically. Tan = H / D [opposite side divided by base]
Hindus consider 60 Ghatis as day length from sunrise to next sunrise, is divided by eight
called eight Prahars starting from local sunrise. Prahar duration is 7 Ghati 30 pala
=approximately 3 hours.
Normally, at 9 am and 3 pm sun altitude varies from 44 to 35 for stations falling between 8
to 35 degrees latitudes for the month of March. On December 22nd at 9 and 15 hours of
morning and evening, before 2nd and after 3rd Prahar, altitude 27 angle tan value is twice
the height. Thus, statement made by ancients hold good. [e.g. D=2H]

These are some of the very simple examples. Vedic culture has highly developed knowledge
base in Astronomy, Astrology, Physics, and Mathematics. Together with Arabs and the
Chinese the oriental knowledge base has been supreme, even without the modern
instrumentation of the contemporary science.
Vedha situated in diagonal line of building or plot, does not obstructs the sun light
penetration at sun rise to 2nd Prahar. The azimuth of sun has been deciding factor for size of
plots as well as non Vedhable location of the object.
Walls or barriers creates hindrance and restricts ingress of energy in the building so these
are Vedha. It appears the Vedic scholars have considered road, a distance wall or river are
non obstructive, do not create Vedha Dosh.
Human vision has 60 solid angle and vision length 6x6 means 6 meter is normal clear
vision. Thus, any Vedha beyond the orb of 6 meter 20 feet or 13 Hasta 6 Angula, is
ineffective.
Old or dilapidated, fractured or reconstructed or renovated temple or buildings or structure
have no further renewable, reflectivity or refractivity of energy. Therefore, it appears
ancients have considered as innocent Vastu. It may be noted that the broken, fractured or
damaged icons of God are not worshiped as they have lost their energies/ power.
Minimum width of building is 16 hands =4.8 m particularly for Sudra. Buildings having
width less than 4.8 m Vastu/ Vedha Dosh is not operative. Considering contemporary
4

scenario in housing field, low cost housing schemes have plot/building width does not
exceed the stipulations recorded in Vishwakarma Prakash.
Every human being has perceptibility to judge positive and negative energies aspects within
the orbit of Vastu principles. Aesthetics is debatable, to overcome such situations if
individuals inner mind appreciate the work, it has no relevance of Dosh.
Perhaps, readers would be more inquisitive to know the influence of Vedha Dosh on the
occupants. Sages have not advanced any reasons for the effects. The effects of Dosh relate to
owner of the property or some times to aged or children; elders or younger; son or daughter;
male or female relations who happens to be the occupants of the house/property. The
gravity of influence depends on combination of both man made and natural defects
particularly plot and structure. House does not remain the home. Efforts are made to
compile the results of Vedha related to subject from various text books.
