Meet Vimala and Shankara. They built a paradise called Shivalaya at the foot of the holy mountain of Arunachala, in Tiruvannamalai, India. But they didn't just build any ordinary home; they built their dream home based on the spiritual tenets of geomancy and the astrological principles within Sanatana Dharma, particularly the south Indian Siddha tradition.
