About · The practitioner

The architect who reads buildings twice — once through structure, once through Vastu.

Rohit Khandelwal founded Aayatan Veda in 2020, the same year he earned the Vastu Acharya title from MahaVastu. But Vastu has been home since childhood — absorbed long before it became a profession.

How we work

Three rules the practice never breaks.

RULE 01

The drawing first. The chart second.

Every engagement begins with a floor plan — yours, your architect's, or one we draft. Astrology, where relevant, is only an input to direction and entrance decisions. The plan is what we work on; the chart is a lens, not the product.

RULE 02

What to do — and how, and what it costs.

A recommendation that ignores structure, cost, or by-laws is a wish, not advice. Because Rohit is also an architect, every suggestion carries a feasibility note. When something isn't worth fixing, the report says so.

RULE 03

No fear. No remedy sales. Ever.

Aayatan Veda stocks no yantras, crystals, or pyramids. Where an object genuinely helps — a mirror, a colour, a plant — the report tells you where to buy it yourself, at market price. You pay for judgement, not inventory.

The story

Three movements. The order matters.

MV 01

Vastu as a childhood backdrop

Rohit grew up in a home where direction, placement, and light were never casual. Long before it was a service, Vastu was a way of looking. The formal title came much later — the sight was there from the start.

MV 02

Architecture, then cities

B.Arch in 2004, then City Planning at IIT Kharagpur, then a decade on Chhattisgarh's new administrative capital — rising to Deputy General Manager (Planning) at Naya Raipur. Years after moving to private practice, the Naya Raipur City Project invited him back as Planning Advisor. Cities taught him what homes alone cannot: what you put where has consequences nobody traces back to the drawing.

MV 03

Integration — Aayatan Veda

In January 2020 he completed the Advanced MahaVastu course and took the Vastu Acharya title; the same year, he founded Aayatan Veda. From a small studio in Raipur, 500+ homes across India, the Gulf, the UK, the US, Australia, and Indonesia — drawn as architecture, read through Vastu, delivered as one report.

"The science came first. The tradition was earned."
