VAASTU GUIDELINES

 Main entrance :The favourable directions for having the main entrance are
north, east or north-east
 Kitchen: Ideally, the kitchen should be placed in the south-east direction of
the house. Never buy a house where the kitchen is built in the north direction
 Master bedroom: The master bedroom should be built in the south-west
direction. Never in the south-east, since that direction is governed by the fire
element
 Kids room: You children’s room should be placed in the south-west direction
at home. Make sure that your kids sleep with their head towards the south or
east, for peace of mind
 Toilet: According to vastu shastra, the toilet/bathroom should be located in
the west or north-west direction. Avoid purchasing homes that have toilets
built in other directions since there are no corrective measures that can
negate the effects of this
 Shape :Although circular rooms look more stylish and trendy, they are not
compliant with vastu. Make sure your rooms follow strict lines and are square
or rectangle in shape. the rooms at home should have definite lines.
 Overhead tank : Ideally, the overhead water tank should be placed in the
west or south-west direction of the house. If you place it in the south-west
direction then make sure you place it two feet above the topmost slab. South-
west direction is the ideal direction for your overhead water tank.
 septic tank :The septic tank should only be placed in the north-west
direction at home. Make sure it does not touch the compound wall at any cost
and 2 feet away from all boundary walls

Stairs and Furniture:

Heavy furniture (like almira etc.) should be kept in the South-west direction. If you are planning to
build a duplex house, building stairs in this direction is a good idea.
