What is Vastu Shanti Pooja?
Vastu Shanti Pooja pacifies the Vastu Purusha and the deities of the eight directions (ashta dikpalakas) who govern a building. It is done before living in a new or renovated home or office, and when vastu defects cannot be corrected structurally.
Vastu Shastra describes the plot as the body of the Vastu Purusha, with a deity presiding over each part of the Vastu Purusha mandala. The pooja worships these deities in a mandala drawn with coloured grains and offers a homam so the building supports the health and prosperity of the people who live or work in it.

In the Telugu states Vastu Shanti is usually done with a homam on the morning of the gruhapravesam, before the family enters with the kalasam.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
