Find the best borewell location as per Vastu
Use the interactive planner to compare possible borewell points on your own plot. It converts the direction and distance of each point into a clear, rule-based Vastu suitability score.
Which borewell direction is preferred?
North-East is traditionally preferred. North and East are commonly used alternatives. The exact centre and South-West are generally treated as lower-preference positions.
Vastu placement—not water detection
This tool does not locate groundwater, predict borewell depth or guarantee water yield. Use a hydrogeological survey, an experienced local driller and the required local approvals before drilling.
Borewell direction guide for your plot
The planner measures from the plot centre and the actual North direction you set. These broad bands explain the traditional preference behind the live score.
| Plot zone | Vastu preference | Planner guidance |
|---|---|---|
| North-East (Ishanya) | Most preferred | Traditionally the strongest zone for underground water placement. |
| North and East | Favourable | Common alternatives when the North-East area is unavailable. |
| North-West and West | Conditional | Compare the exact angle and nearby points before selecting. |
| South-East, South and South-West | Generally avoided | Traditionally lower-preference zones for a borewell. |
| Plot centre (Brahmasthan) | Avoid | Keep the central zone clear and confirm practical site constraints. |
How the borewell Vastu calculator works
Add your plot
Choose a basic plot shape or upload a plan as a visual guide, then adjust the boundary.
Align North
Match the compass to the actual North shown on your plan or site reference.
Confirm the centre
The centre becomes the reference point for calculating direction, angle and distance.
Compare locations
Move the marker to compare Vastu scores and identify the preferred North-East band.
No AI guesswork: the result uses a consistent directional scoring system based on traditional Vastu preferences. It is a planning reference, not a geological or engineering result.
What to confirm before drilling a borewell
- Groundwater availabilityAsk a qualified groundwater professional or experienced local driller to assess likely water-bearing points.
- Water safetyMaintain the required clearance from septic tanks, soak pits, drains and other contamination sources.
- Permissions and setbacksCheck local groundwater, municipal and plot-boundary requirements before drilling.
- Construction accessConfirm drilling-rig access, structural clearance, maintenance space and safe capping.
Borewell Vastu FAQs
Which direction is best for a borewell as per Vastu?
North-East (Ishanya) is traditionally the most preferred borewell zone. North and East are commonly considered favourable alternatives. The exact centre and South-West are generally avoided in traditional Vastu planning.
Does this planner find groundwater or water-bearing spots?
No. The planner does not detect groundwater, predict drilling depth, estimate yield or test water quality. It only compares possible positions using traditional Vastu direction preferences. Confirm the final drilling point with qualified groundwater and site professionals.
How does the borewell Vastu calculator choose a location?
You outline the plot, align its actual North direction and confirm the plot centre. The planner then uses a transparent rule-based score across 16 compass zones and shows how the score changes as you move the borewell marker.
Can I upload my house or plot plan?
Yes. You can upload a JPG, PNG or WEBP plan as a visual guide, adjust the plot corners, set North and compare positions. The uploaded image is not analysed for groundwater and is not an engineering survey.
Does the facing direction of the house change the borewell zone?
The planner measures every position from the North direction you set and from the plot centre. This lets you compare the same compass-based Vastu zones for north-, south-, east- or west-facing properties.
