        abstract = {Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian system of architectural design, offers a holistic framework rooted in orientation, spatial organization, proportion, and aesthetics. This paper examines the scientific relevance of Vaastu principles in contemporary architecture by analyzing their correlation with climate-responsive design, environmental psychology, ergonomics, and sustainable planning. The study interprets key traditional concepts such as the Vaastu Purusha Mandala, directional significance, proportional measurements (Maana), and aesthetic canons (Chanda) through logical and scientific perspectives. Three case studies, including Jawahar Kala Kendra, Chhavi House, and the Indian School of Business, demonstrate the successful integration of Vaastu principles into modern cultural, residential, and institutional architecture. The findings indicate that Vaastu Shastra continues to offer practical value for enhancing comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental harmony in present-day architectural practice.},
