Principle
Placement of Ancestor and Family Photos
Photos of departed ancestors go in the South-West, but never inside a bedroom; family photos of the living go anywhere except the South and SSW zones, on a wall where their faces look North.
Principle
Family Photos and Portraits: Full Bodies, Smiling, Faces Towards North
Never hang photos or paintings in which hands, feet or heads are cut off. Hang family photos with smiling faces on the South wall, with the faces looking towards the North.
What it does
Avoids losses linked to cut limbs and keeps attraction within the family.
Where
South wall; all photo frames with faces towards North

Cautions
- Cut or hidden hands: business slows, transactions fail, money sinks and losses continue
- Cut or hidden feet: harm to wife and son, as stated in the Vedic texts
- Do not hang pictures with cut necks or heads
Explanation and notes
Old photographers always took complete group photos for this reason. North is the direction of attraction, so faces towards North keep family members attracted to one another.

Purpose of Interior Vastu: Changing the Mind Through Images (Chitra se Chitt)
Interior work is done to change the mind, because everything follows from the mind. Pictures, colours and objects (chitra) change the state of mind (chitt), so the goal the mind should be led to must be fixed first.

What Each of the Eight Directions Gives: Quick Reference for Interiors
Recap of the main department of each of the eight directions, used to match rooms and activities to zones.
Principle
Planets and Their Metals in the Eight Directions
Each direction is the seat of a planet with its own metal; keeping that metal in that direction captures and multiplies the planet's energy there and neutralises negative energy.
Principle
How Much Planetary Energy Trees, Mirrors, Water, Yantras and Metals Capture
Only about 55 percent of the Sun's energy reaches the earth. Of that, trees and plants capture about 95 percent, mirrors 80, pyramids 65, water 60, yantras 60 to 90, metals 45 and stones 35, while plastic and petroleum by-products capture none.
Remedy
Concave and Convex Mirrors to Enlarge a Cut or Reduce an Extension
In older vastu practice mirrors were the main tool of dosh nivaran: a mirror can make a cut area look larger or an oversized extension look smaller.
