Method
Marking the 32 Outer Padas (Devta Pads) on a Plan
After zoning, mark the 32 outer padas of 11.25 degrees each: Soma (N5) is centred on exact North, extending 5.625 degrees on each side, and the remaining padas follow every 11.25 degrees.
Method
Zoning, Bhoomi and Devta Marking in AutoCAD or Other Software
The logic used on paper works the same in AutoCAD, Corel or any drawing software: scale the house outline by the bhoomi ratios, divide by angles, and keep a ready template of the chakra and devta lines to overlay on every new map.
What it does
Speeds up professional map marking to about a minute per map.
Where
Digital plan of the house, plot or flat
Samagri used
- AutoCAD, Corel or any drawing software
- House outline drawn as a polyline
How to do it
- 1Scale the map by setting one wall to its real length (for example 10 feet); the whole map then takes correct dimensions
- 2Copy the house polyline and scale the copies to 0.777 and 0.333 from the centre, treating Manushya and Dev bhoomi as one band
- 3Draw the 32 outer pads at 11.25 degrees each
- 4Draw the inner devtas at 18, 54 and 18 degrees and keep the Brahma bhoomi in the centre
- 5Save the chakra and devta lines once as a template and overlay it on every new map, matching centre and north
Explanation and notes
Paper marking is taught so that the logic is clear; the software steps are the same. Anyone who can use a laptop can learn the AutoCAD needed for Vastu in about a day. Professionals either learn it or have an AutoCAD operator draw the plan, but should know the method well enough to check the work. The software then gives the size of every bhoomi and devta.

Principleअति मर्म स्थल
Ati Marma: Nine Vital Points of the Plot That Must Stay Free
Ati marma are the nine most sensitive points of the Vastu grid, formed where six devta-to-devta lines cross. In a regular, proportionate plot almost all of them fall in the Brahmasthan, and any piercing, load or dirt on them blocks the energy of the whole plot and brings severe, lasting trouble, above all to the owner (griha swami).
Testing
Ati Marma Check for Sudden Quarrels, Losses and Unexplained Illness
When a house built to good Vastu suddenly sees quarrels, business loss, restless children, bad dreams or a family member who stays ill, check what sits on its ati marma points. Shoes, a dustbin, a used plate or heavy goods placed there can trigger such trouble, and moving them brings quick relief.
Remedy
Ati Marma Remedies: Herbs, Metal Kurma (Tortoise) and Gems
Blocked marma and ati marma points are opened with injection-like remedies: special herbs are placed under marma points, while metal kurma (tortoise) figures, metals and precious minerals are installed on the ati marma. They reopen the blocked energy channels of the land.
Method
Marking the Nine Ati Marma Points in the 81 Pad Vastu Mandala
In the 81 pad (9 x 9) Vastu mandala the ati marma are found by drawing six lines between pairs of outer devtas: the two corner diagonals and two lines parallel to each of them. Their nine crossing points are the ati marma.
Method
Marking Ati Marma on Any Plot with Devta Lines or the Zoning Chakra
On a real plot of any shape, the ati marma are marked by finding where the twelve devtas of the six ati marma lines meet the plot boundary and joining those points. With the zoning chakra this takes one to two minutes and needs no computer.
Method
Taking the Degree on Google Earth and Drawing the North Line
The tilt of a house is read on Google Earth with the ruler tool and then transferred to the paper map as a north line drawn from the centre. On an irregular plot that line is drawn parallel to the wall whose degree was taken.
Method
Dividing Any Map into 16 Zones of 22.5 Degrees
Once north is marked, a map of any shape is divided into 16 zones of 22.5 degrees by starting 11.25 degrees on either side of the north line. It takes about two minutes on regular and irregular maps alike.
Method
Dividing a Map into 32 Pads (Zones) of 11.25 Degrees
For 32 zoning each pad is 11.25 degrees, with N5 centred on the exact north (0 degrees). Start 5.62 degrees on either side of north and mark every 11.25 degrees, or mark the black lines of the zoning chakra.
