Worship of Vastu Purusha himself — the being whose form the mandala maps onto a building — with the offerings the tradition assigns to each part.
Worship of Vastu Purusha with the mandala set and the offerings made to the deities holding each part.
Both rites in one observance — Vastu Purusha worshipped directly, and the site then propitiated in the Vastu Shanti sequence.
The extended form, with each of the mandala's deities worshipped in its own place and a longer offering sequence throughout.
The worship completed with a homa on the Vastu mantras, closed with purnahuti at the site.
The fullest form: the worship kept across several sittings with counted japa and a concluding homa at the site.
Where Vastu Shanti propitiates a site, this rite addresses Vastu Purusha directly. The tradition tells of him as a being of great force, held down upon the earth by Brahma and the other deities, each holding a part of him — and it is from that holding that the mandala's assignment of parts, directions and deities follows. The puja worships him in that form, with the offerings made to the deities holding each part in the order the mandala sets. It is most often performed before a construction begins, or where a site is being prepared.
The story is the mandala's own explanation of itself: the deities hold the parts they hold, so those parts of a building belong to them. Worshipping Vastu Purusha directly rather than propitiating the site is therefore the more foundational of the two rites, which is why it is customary at the beginning of a construction rather than at its completion.
