Vasthu vilakku  made as per the principles of Peeta Pooja Mantra, and when we light the vasthu vilakku we worship all the universal powers and panchaboothas. It is suggested to first light the lamp on a Friday early morning before sunrise using ghee and putting 5 wicks east,south, west, north and northeast. It is  preferable to keep vasthu vilakku in the north east corner or else in the pooja place or in a neat and tidy area of our home.

The base of  vasthu vilakku is Adhikoorma the second incarnation of Lord Mahavishnu  to hold Mahameru Mandhara hill during the course of Palazhimadhanam and as a result the Devas could gain Amrutham and Amarathuam. So by worshiping the Koorma Avathara of Lord Mahavishnu positive  things definitely happen in our home and surroundings. Sunsequent lighting of lamp can be by using gingelly oil morning or evening. The first lighting of vasthu vilakku can be on the following occasions also.

• Friday early morning
• Grihapravesam of our new home
• When Navavadhu enters her new home after the marriage
• Onam , vishu Akshayathretheeya, Deepavali, pournami and other religious auspicious and festival days.
