Short answer: If you are searching for a Vastu consultant in Lucknow, I take Lucknow homes online. You send your floor plan, we go through it on a 45-minute video call, and a written report follows within 48 hours. The fee is ₹1,499 for one flat or one floor, and an online plot check costs the same. For shops, offices or a site visit, the fee is quoted on request.
I am Saurabh Sen, IIM Ahmedabad alumnus, and I have spent more than ten years on Vastu and Vedic astrology, working with over 300 clients. I live and work in Begur, Bengaluru, which is where my in-person Vastu work happens. Lucknow sessions are all online.
Houses that grow a floor at a time
The Lucknow plan I see most is a house on an LDA or Awas Vikas plot in a colony like Gomti Nagar, Indira Nagar, Aliganj, Ashiana or Jankipuram. Very often it was built in stages. The parents built the ground floor, and a first floor was added years later when a son married, with a new staircase squeezed in wherever it fit. That later staircase is the single thing I spend most time on, because it decides which zone carries the load and the movement of the whole house.
If you are planning to add a floor, talk to me before the mason starts. Where the new stair lands, and whether the upper kitchen sits over the lower one, are easy to get right on paper and hard to fix later. My guide on Vastu for house construction covers the basics.
Newer families are moving into apartments along Shaheed Path, Sultanpur Road and Sushant Golf City. There the plot is not yours to change, so I read your unit: main door, kitchen, master bedroom, and the toilets. In the older parts of the city, around Chowk and Aminabad, homes are tighter and share walls, and the work is mostly about room use.
Damp, fog and the north-east
Lucknow summers are hot and the monsoon is humid, and winters bring dense fog. Two things follow from that. Ground floors in older colonies often have damp patches, and if that damp sits in the north-east, families tend to stop using that corner and fill it with old trunks. That is the corner Vastu wants clean, light and in use, so we work out how to bring it back. And in winter, the south-facing rooms get the best sun; I try to make sure the elders’ room benefits from that while the zone still works.
In Lucknow I often see houses where a floor was added years later, and the stairs landed in the wrong zone.
How the online consultation goes
Share a plan of each floor with north marked, a compass photo at the main door, and the family’s dates of birth. In the 45 minutes I explain what each zone is doing and answer your questions. In the report you get remedies in order of priority, all without demolition. If two floors belong to two families, each floor is its own session. Fees are on the pricing page.
Buying a resale house in an older colony
Many Lucknow families buy a house that someone else built twenty or thirty years ago, in Aliganj, Mahanagar or Indira Nagar. Before you pay the token amount, a few checks tell you how much work the house will need.
- Gate and facing. Stand at the gate looking in and note the compass degree. A gate in the wrong part of a good facing matters more than the facing itself.
- Missing corners. A room added later often leaves a corner cut off. A missing north-east or south-west corner is the one to look at closely.
- Borewell and tank. The borewell is best in the north-east and the overhead tank in the south-west. In older houses they are often the other way round.
- The added floor. If a previous owner built another floor, check where the new stair landed and what sits above the kitchen.
- Damp and slope. A damp north-east wall and a plot sloping towards the south-west are the two things I would check first.
Send me the plan, a photo of each side and the compass reading, and I will tell you what can be corrected and what cannot before you commit. A house or plot check before purchase is ₹1,499 online.
Frequently asked questions
We are adding a first floor to our Gomti Nagar house. Where should the stair go?
Vastu prefers a staircase in the south, west or south-west, and it should not climb up through the north-east or the centre. Send both the existing ground floor plan and the proposed upper plan, and we check them together.
Is an east-facing LDA plot always better?
East-facing plots are popular, but they are not better by default. A badly placed gate on an east plot can do more harm than a well-planned west plot. My east-facing house guide explains what to watch.
The north-east corner of our ground floor is damp. What do we do?
Fix the damp first, because no remedy works on a wall that is wet. Then clear the corner, keep it light, and use it for something calm like reading or a puja shelf.
Can my joint family’s floors be read together?
Yes. Each floor is priced as one session, but if the family wants, we can look at how the floors relate, especially the shared stair and entrance.
Will you understand everyday Lucknow Hindi?
Yes. I take sessions in Hindi, English and Bengali, and everyday Lucknow Hindi is no problem. I do not speak Urdu as a separate language, so please do not expect formal Urdu from me. If you want astrology as well, see astrology consultations in Lucknow.
Can you check a resale house in Lucknow before we pay the token?
Yes. Send the plan or a hand sketch with north marked, a compass reading at the gate and photos. I tell you which issues can be corrected and which cannot.
The borewell in the house we like is in the south-west. Should we walk away?
Not always, but it is one of the harder defects to correct. We look at the rest of the house first, and at whether a new borewell in the north-east is possible.
