G) Vastu levels of the plots
• The inside of the plot should have high ground level towards the south and west and should be lowest in the north and east. Levels of southeast and northeast should be more or less equal northwest and southeast levels should be higher than the northeast.
• The same principles apply towards the levels of the outside plot. East and north level of the adjoining plot or road should be low. South and west of the plot may have hillocks and mounts that are good beneficially ponds, tanks and rivers should be in north or east and northeast.
A high building constructed towards south or west or southwest of the plot is good for prosperity. If any pond and tank or well or valley or ditches etc are constructed towards southwest outside the plot will give bad result. Well is also considered auspicious and inauspicious. The well constructed on the east side means it should be in first half of the plot towards the north. A well in the south, west or southwest is not good for prosperity.
Therefore, before buying before buying nay plot and construction it is essential to consult a proper and an expert Vastu Shastra expert.
