Chapter 5 — The 45 devtas one by one
One card for each devta, in one fixed shape: Sanskrit name → the verse it comes from → pada on the mandala → the Vastu Purusha's limb → the power → the traditional attribute → the home item → the door result → read more / get the Field Booster.
Tap a devta on the map to jump to its card. Where a line is scripture it says so; where it is the teaching of our own book or modern reading, it says that too.

What a Devta Field Booster is
A metal plate studded with copper, brass and white-metal discs in a pattern specific to each devta — placed in that devta's pada. New to this? Our team guides placement and method free of charge: WhatsApp +91 97704 40000.See all 45 →
Previous: Chapter 4 — door results · From the start: Chapter 1 guide
Frequently Asked Questions Where does the home item for each devta come from? From the book Advance Vastu — Vedant Maestro (pp. 213–215), which is the method our consultations follow. It is not from the Bṛhat Saṁhitā; the verses give names, padas and door results, not household items.
How do I know which pada a room of my house falls in? Lay the 81-pada grid over the floor plan with the Vastu Grid tool on mahajyotish.com, with North marked correctly. Each cell on the map above corresponds to a cell of that grid.
Is a Devta Field Booster the same as an idol? No. It is a flat metal plate with a disc pattern, kept in the devta's pada. It needs no daily ritual. Placement matters more than the object, which is why guidance is free.
