Who is Vastu Devta ?
According to scriptures, the Vastu deity has been described as a man created from a drop of sweat of Lord Shiva. According to mythology, when there was a terrible war between Lord Shiva and the demon Andhakasura, a few drops of sweat from Shankarji’s body fell on the ground. From those drops a creature appeared who terrified the sky and the earth, and started killing the gods. Seeing this, Indra, etc. Gods got scared and reached the shelter of Brahma Ji.

Then Brahmaji advised the deities to sit on him instead of being afraid of that man. The gods did the same. Falling it upside down, all the gods sat on it. When Brahma ji reached there, that man prayed to Brahma ji and asked about his fault and the behavior to be done with the gods.
Brahmaji blessed him
On this Brahma ji also declared him as Vastu deity. Blessed that on the occasion of the construction of any house, village, city, fort, temple, garden, etc. he will also be worshiped along with the deities. For the one who does not do this, there will be obstacles in the life of that person. Along with poverty, he will get premature death. Since then Vastu Devta is worshiped as the deity of land and buildings.
