| L-shaped | Avoid | Missing corner creates energy gap and imbalance |
| T-shaped | Avoid | Unbalanced — certain extensions are harmful |
| Triangular | Worst | Unstable energy, leads to financial losses |
| Circular | Temples only | Not recommended for residential or commercial use |

Slope Direction
| Slope Direction | Rating | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| North-East slope (lowest point) | Best | Prosperity and spiritual growth |

| South-East slope | Harmful | Risk of fire accidents and legal issues |
| North-West slope | Harmful | Health issues — especially respiratory problems |
Soil Testing (Traditional Method): Dig a pit about 1 foot deep. Fill it with water and check the next morning. If water remains — the soil is fertile and auspicious. If the pit is dry — avoid the land. White, red, or yellow soil is considered good. Black or rocky soil indicates challenges ahead.
