The Brahmasthana (central portion
of the plot) is an important factor to be reckoned while
constructing a building, be it an office or a house. The
Brahmasthana is the region around the navel (Nabhi) of the
Vastu Purusha
(site deity).
The energy lines running through
the center of the plot are also equally important. Much care
should be taken in building a structure, so that these lines are
not disturbed.
Vastu recomends that the Brahmasthana of the
building should always be left empty. The center of the building
is selected as an intersent of two diagonal lines from the four
corners of the plot; and the same is done with all the interior
rooms. No pillars and no rooms should be contructed at this place,
and no heavy furniture should be kept in the centre of any room.
Only carpets, rugs etc. can be kept at this place.
