Vastu Shastra defines certain basic rules to be followed while constructing a staircase in a building. This is separately studied under Vastu for stairs and is and integral component of the complete Vastu Shastra Course. The ideal Vastu Directions for a staircase are South and South West.
It is not advisable to build the stairs of the building in the North East corner. The steps in the staircase should climb up from either east to west or north to south. Also the total number of steps should count to an odd number so that the person climbing with one foot lands with the same foot forward on top of the stairs.
The landings and turnings in any staircase are planned to be in the clockwise direction.
Principles of Vastu for Stairs
Vastu Principles are clearly demarcated about the construction of the stairs in a building. Facing west or south while starting climbing and finishing in the North East direction is considered auspicious.
Therefore, the stairs are planned to be constructed with each turnings at such an angle that these basics are followed. Keeping doors at beginning and end of the staircase is also considered auspicious. Care should be taken to ensure that the stairs do not touch the eastern or northern walls.
