Some believe that Vastu Shastra is founded on superstition and does not have any empirical data, which has led to a discussion about its scientific legitimacy. Others counter that Vastu Shastra is based on scientific principles, citing things like the value of natural factors like sunlight, ventilation, and airflow in fostering a healthy living environment. Vastu Shastra is still widely practised and believed to provide benefits, despite the fact that there is little scientific evidence to support it.
