🛡️ Ashta Dikpalaka Shanti
Balancing the Eight Directions Through Vedic Protection
Ashta Dikpalaka Shanti is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to appease the eight directional guardians—known as the Ashta Dikpalakas—who govern the cosmic energies of space and protect the native from directional imbalances, vastu doshas, and unseen obstacles. This pooja is especially recommended during Griha Pravesha, Gruha Nirmana, Vastu corrections, or when a horoscope reveals directional afflictions.
