Thoughtfully Prepared for Its Intended Traditional Use

At VastuKosha, certain products may undergo specific preparation before being supplied to customers.

Preparation is product-specific and may vary according to the nature of the item, its material, its traditional purpose and the applicable process.

Our objective is to ensure that products are presented and supplied with appropriate attention to their identity, condition, documentation and intended traditional context.

What Does Product Preparation Mean?

“Product preparation” refers to the applicable steps undertaken before a product is made ready for sale or dispatch.

Depending on the product, preparation may include processes such as:

• Product inspection

• Cleaning or finishing

• Assembly

• Product-specific handling

• Packaging

• Documentation

• Traditional preparation or associated practices, where applicable

Not every product undergoes every process listed above.

The applicable preparation depends on the particular product.

Product-Specific Preparation

Different products require different approaches.

For example, a jewellery item may require attention to its construction and finish, while a yantra may involve different preparation and handling considerations.

Similarly, products made from natural materials may require appropriate inspection and handling because their physical characteristics can naturally vary.

For this reason, VastuKosha does not apply a single preparation standard indiscriminately to every product.

Traditional Preparation

Certain products associated with Vastu, astrology or spiritual practices may be prepared in accordance with traditional practices.

Where such preparation is applicable, it is presented in its traditional context.

Traditional preparation should not be interpreted as scientific, medical or therapeutic treatment, unless a separate and specific claim is expressly supported by appropriate evidence.

It also does not constitute a guarantee that a customer will experience a particular result.

Inspection & Product Readiness

Where applicable, products may be reviewed before dispatch to ensure that the item corresponds with the relevant order and product requirements.

This may include checking:

• Product identity

• General physical condition

• Quantity

• Visible workmanship

• Applicable product specifications

• Packaging

• Accompanying documentation

The nature and extent of such checks may differ depending on the product.

A visual or operational inspection should not be confused with laboratory testing or independent certification.

Documentation

Where a product requires or includes additional documentation, the applicable documentation may accompany the product.

This may include, where applicable:

• Product information

• Care instructions

• Certificate

• Identification details

• Other product-specific documentation

Customers should retain this documentation after receiving the product.

Where an IHAS Certificate is supplied, customers can refer to the relevant certificate information and verification procedure.

Natural Products

Products containing natural materials require particular consideration.

Gemstones, beads and other natural materials may display natural variations in:

• Colour

• Shape

• Texture

• Pattern

• Inclusions

• Markings

• Surface characteristics

These differences can occur naturally and do not necessarily indicate a defect or inconsistency.

Product-specific descriptions and specifications should always be considered before purchase.

Preparation Does Not Alter the Nature of the Product

Preparation should not be understood to mean that a natural material has been transformed into a different material or that the physical properties of a product have been fundamentally changed.

Where a product is described as a gemstone, metal, bead, yantra or other traditional product, the product description remains the primary reference for its physical characteristics.

Any specific treatment, enhancement or modification that is material to the product should be disclosed where applicable.

How Customers Should Use Prepared Products

Customers should follow the product-specific instructions supplied with their purchase.

Depending on the product, these may relate to:

• Placement

• Wearing

• Installation

• Cleaning

• Storage

• Handling

• Maintenance

Where traditional practices are involved, customers may choose to follow the relevant traditional guidance according to their own beliefs and preferences.

Important Distinction

VastuKosha distinguishes between:

Physical preparation
Steps associated with making a product ready for supply.

Traditional preparation
Practices associated with the traditional or spiritual context of a particular product.

Certification or documentation
Records associated with the product where applicable.

Expected outcomes
Results experienced by an individual customer.

These four concepts should not be treated as interchangeable.

Preparation or certification does not constitute a guarantee of a particular outcome.

Our Approach

We believe customers should be able to understand not only what a product is, but also what has been done to it before it reaches them.

Where preparation is relevant, VastuKosha aims to communicate it clearly and avoid presenting traditional practices as scientifically established guarantees.

Our commitment is to clarity, appropriate preparation, responsible communication and transparent product information.

Tradition, thoughtfully prepared.
