In a village where more than 1000 brahmins live, edifice meant for the public utility may
be built in the brahma pada and other adjacent belts. If the number of brahmins is very much
less, then the construction of elongated , small four-pillared hall , courtyard and other such
buildings should be left out. In a village where the number of brahmins extends up to 1000,
shrines for Gauri and Laksmi may be constructed. The shrines for Brahma, Kubera, Candra,
and Kamadeva should be in the interior sections. The shrines for Kshetrapala, Jyestha and other
Deities mentioned earlier should be in the exterior sections. In a village where more than 2000
brahmins live,construction of the shrines for all the prominent Deities who grant all the desired
fruits is highly recommended.

In these sections, shrines for other Deities, not mentioned here, may also be constructed. In
the brahma bhaga and other sections, temples for Siva, Gauri, Vinayaka and Skanda may
be built . The shrine of Sasta may built in the interior or exterior grid-belts. Shrines for
the Deities belonging to the Rudra Gana should be in the exterior sections. These Deities
installed in a settlement remain pleased and favorably disposed, if the application of the
chosen vastu-mandala has been performed carefully prior to the installation.
