The Vedic Square
The Vedic Square is one of the basic building blocks for design with Vaastu. The patterns created can be used as building ornamentation, spiritual symbols and as design elements within the landscape of a site.Patterns can be created from numbers. The Vedic Square is formed on a 9-by-9 grid, with the products of the numbers in the top row and left column placed at each intersection point. When the product exceeds 9, the two digits are added to form a single digit. The completed square exhibits many patterns, such as that formed by the sevens and ones, which can be transformed into other patterns.

Im a final year architecture student currently doing my research thesis on city forms and the process of change.
I've taken the case of Bhopal as a city. It was based on vastu purusha model, and therefore the canonical square shaped plan.
What i would like to know more about is the vastu influence on a larger city planning/developing level. Ive read couple of books but i cant find answers i could relate directly to the situation in Bhopal. Also state and national records have no records of this vastu based settlement of early 11th century.
