Carla Ionescu Ravish Paul Chouhan
The two religions I am going to write about are Hinduism and Islam and I am also going to talk about the architecture of both the religions.

In vaastu shastra design of building is a matter of deep concern. Vaastu shastra is similar to Chinese art Feng Shui. If the construction of building is done in a wrong way it can cause unhappiness,
