A Sinhala-language title on vastu vidya — the traditional South Asian body of knowledge concerning the siting, orientation and layout of buildings and the household wellbeing thought to follow from getting these right. The title translates roughly as wellbeing for all through vastu science, and places the book in the practical end of that literature rather than the scholarly end.
The author is Bandula G De Silva. It is issued by Godage International Publishers, a long-established Colombo house that publishes across Sinhala and English lists.
Please note the book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text or parallel translation, so reading fluency in Sinhala is needed. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should be clear on this before purchase.
It will suit Sinhala readers with an interest in vastu — someone planning or altering a house, a student of traditional building lore, or a practitioner adding to a working shelf. It is also the kind of book Sri Lankans abroad look for and rarely find locally, since Sinhala-language titles on traditional subjects are seldom stocked outside the island.
