Steps

1. 1Purification: Sprinkle Ganga Jal mixed with a pinch of turmeric throughout the office to cleanse the space of negative vibrations.

6. 6Consecration: Light a diya (lamp) and incense, chanting the relevant mantras to sanctify the space.
7. 7Plantation: Place healthy green plants like Money Plants or Tulsi (if suitable for the environment) in the North or East zones.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Regional Variations

• •In South Indian traditions, the emphasis on the placement of the 'Pooja Room' or sanctum is even more stringent.
• •Some North Indian traditions prioritize the 'Vastu Purusha' ritual during the foundation stone laying (Bhoomi Pujan) more heavily than the interior layout.
• •Coastal regions may incorporate specific elemental considerations related to sea breezes and moisture levels in Vastu planning.
