According to Andal Vastu, there are six important rules to be followed to have a better life. They are:

  Plot and building should be square or rectangle in shape and also there should not be any cut or extension in the plot or building.

  The level of South West portion should be comparatively higher and the North East portion should be lower.

  The spacing area of the East must be greater than the West and the spacing area of the North must be greater than the South.

  The Main entrance should be North East east or North East north or South East east or North West west.

  The Interior staircase must be South center or West center and the Exterior staircase must either be on the South East east or South East south or North West west.

  The path hitting the plot or building should be on the positive direction.

The basic guidelines of Andal Vastu for residential buildings are:

  Choice of a plot is more important than the construction of the building.

  It is wise to choose a plot having North East road and avoid a plot having South West road.

  The Plot and the building should be square or rectangle in shape. There should not be any cut or extension.

  Construction of building should be towards the South West corner of the plot as it would leave more space on the North and the East.

  The North East portion should be comparatively lower than the ground level and the South West portion should be higher.

  The Main gate and the Main entrance should be on the positive direction.
