A
proper house to live in is the prime necessity for every
living being. Habitat is related to the very birth of the
creature, whether it is a marine animal or birds or a land
animal. Everybody, rich or poor me and even the gods if

Vishwakarma had first of all given the methods of construction
and decoration of buildings. It is known as Vaastu Shastra
or the architecture. References to these methods and art
are found in the sources of ancient Indian culture such
as the Vedas, Purans , Ramayan, Mahabharat and other Sanskrit
epics.
In
astrology also, the ancient scholars have given the auspicious
times (muhurt) for procuring a plot of land or starting
the construction work of a house or first entry in the newly
built house etc. The intention of these methods of construction
propounded by the ancient saints, seers and scholars, and
transmitted through the generations, has been that human
beings in this world may build a house which will bring
health, happiness and all round prosperity for the inmates;
A house which helps in achieving the best in the four groups
(Chaturvarg:) Dharm, Arth, Kaam and Moksha and attaining
divinity.
A
place, natural or built by the living beings which protects
them from heat, cold, rains, storms and adverse conditions
of natures is known by different name in different cases.
e.g. a house, nest, den, burrow etc.Man is the most superior
among all the animals. It is expected of him that he builds
a proper place or house for not only himself and his family,
but also for other animals or things also with which he
has some association, keeping in view their proper safety
and maintenance. In addition, he should earn nobility by
constructing dharamshala, temples, wells, ponds etc. for
the benefit of all. At the time of wedding, it is a tradition
in Indian culture, that the bride puts seven conditions
(Saptpadi) before the groom, one of them is that if he promises
to build a temple / garden / pond / well / Dharamashala
etc. for public utility and benefit of the others, then
only she will accept to be his wife. The groom has to promise
and then it becomes the sacred duty of the man to build
some house to keep his promise.
