Forty-five seats in one square
When the classical Vastu tradition draws its full mandala over a dwelling, the square resolves into forty-five seats: a lord of the centre, rings of inner seats around him, and an outer circuit along the boundary. Each seat has a name, a fixed position, an element, and a function — one governs nourishment, another speech, another wealth kept and wealth spent. The mandala is thus a complete index of the house: every point of the plan answers to one seat.
A catalogue, faithfully kept
This tool is the catalogue of those forty-five seats as the practice records them: position in the grid, direction, element, and the life-function each seat carries. Nothing here is invented to fill a gap — where the records are silent, the entry is silent too. The calculator shows the classical basis with each result, quoted from the practice's source records, so you read the seats as transmitted rather than as summarised.
How to use this tool
Browse the catalogue seat by seat, or look up the seat under any point of your plan once you know its zone from the degree tools. For any room, find which seats it covers and read their functions; a room that honours its seats — by use, cleanliness and weight — is the mandala's idea of a room in order.
FAQ
Q. Are the four outer guardians part of the 45? The tradition treats the guardians of the quarters as protectors around the mandala, distinct from the seats within it.
Q. Do I need the full grid to use this? No — begin with the direction of a room and read the seats of that band.
Q. Where do the attributes come from? From the practice's source records, quoted with each calculation; the prose here names no text.
