Golden Vastu Rule:
It must be understood that whatever defects arising due to extensions that have been mentioned for the lower floor or the ground floor in the houses, offices and factories, the same defects are present in the upper floors also.
At times when there are extensions in two or more adjoining directions then the negative effects of all those extended directions are felt in an extended Vastu.
