Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Mohit Bisht

Vastu Shastra, a traditional Indian architectural science, sets several rules regarding the placement of paintings in the house.

[{"selector":"#anim-54a199db-6ec3-4d83-9850-603bdc2b8e65","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d84084fc-41cf-4982-91e8-1363b369daf0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e69f08d7-1540-4610-8195-ccae5ada69a6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 130.86977%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

According to Vastu, while some pictures bring happiness, others may bring misfortune and anxiety.

When you put a photo of your family, take full care that it should have more than three people. As per Vastu, photographs of three family members on the wall are not considered auspicious.
