Vastu of Paintings

Paintings have a deep effect on the overall environment of a place. These paintings are categorized as “NAVRAS”.Posters and paintings plays a vital role in enhancing the beauty of any room but using them according to Vastu shall further boost the positive vibes in the house. It is a fact that every single object around, has its own energy, aura and vibes – paintings thus would play a prominent role, since it invokes feelings (positive and negative), connected to the inhabitants culture, personal life and likes, wishes and desires too. Vastu Shastra makes us live in harmony with nature taking advantage of the five basic elements of nature i.e earth, water, fire, air and space and receiving the blessing of the Gods of the directions.

Much of what we know today about ancient culture has been learned from ancient artwork. Philosophy and symbolism play a huge role in every culture. Every object in the house has its own energy has a strong influence on the people staying there. Paintings connects you to your personal life and culture.
