Key takeaways
Before griha pravesh, check the entrance, kitchen, master bedroom, pooja room and toilets against their zones, clean and prepare the home, and leave the muhurat to your priest. Fix what you can before moving in.
A Vastu report is only as good as the North direction and boundary you set on your own plan. For a standard rectangular home or office, the automated grids answer most directional questions honestly; book a consultation when the plot is irregular or the decision is irreversible.
