Vastu Shastra & Science:

1. If your house is north facing, then the harmful effect of UV rays is minimized at the place. Similarly, if your house is east facing, then there is an added advantage of being exposed to the rays of the rising sun which bring in nutrients and vitamins.

2. The South East direction isn’t recommended for setting up the kitchen, because the South Westerly wind could pick up fire and set the house on fire. That is why it’s recommended to set up kitchens in the East or North East corner to safeguard the house.

Another reason behind this is that kitchen is the first room in the morning that begins buzzing with activity. The idea is to let the rays of the rising sun grace the food and enrich it with nutrients and vitamins.

3. Good natural lightning is very important in the house you are buying. So ensure that adequate sunlight enters the apartment and also that it has good cross ventilation option. Apartments with East or North facing balconies or windows are ideal as per the guidelines.

4. It’s recommended that the bedrooms be placed in the South Eastern direction. The explanation behind this is that bedroom needs to remain fresh and requires a lot of air circulation.

5. The rays from morning sun help in purifying water. So the water storage tank should be in the North eastern corner in a multi storied building. To facilitate absorption, plastic water tanks are to be avoided and in case it’s plastic, dark colors like blue or black must be used.

6. North east corner is to be avoided for toilet and bathroom placement. The direction of the wind all through the year is North East to South West. If the toilet is placed in north east, the wind enters the room after passing the toilet and hence, contaminates it.
