Principle
Toilet Effects in Each of the 16 Zones
Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
Principle
South-South-West Zone: Weak Energy, the Place for Dustbin, Garbage and Toilet
In the South-South-West the scorching sun destroys vitamins and minerals, and the gravitational force, balanced in the South, becomes imbalanced 22.5 degrees further, so the energy here is poor. This zone is used for the dustbin, garbage and toilet.
What it does
Uses the weak zone for waste so that the good zones are not spoiled.
Where
South-South-West zone
Cautions
- Good energy used for bad things, or bad energy used for good things, creates trouble; match the use to the energy.
Explanation and notes
The Vedic texts do not say that a toilet must be built here, but since the energy is bad, bad into bad remains only bad, so waste functions are placed here.

Principle
32 Outer Devtas of the 81 Pad Grid: 11.25 Degrees Each
The 81 pad grid, used for any house, factory, business or office, has 32 devtas (the 32 digpal) seated around its outer ring in the pishach bhoomi. One round covers 360 degrees, so each outer pad covers 360 divided by 32, that is 11.25 degrees, and half a pad 5.625 degrees.
Principle
Sixteen Zones of 22.5 Degrees and the Three Parts of Each Corner
Directions fall at every 90 degrees, the corner directions (vidisha) at 45 degrees and the zones at every 22.5 degrees, giving 16 zones. Each corner has three parts with different properties, for example Nairitya splits into dakshini nairitya (SSW), nairitya (SW) and paschimi nairitya (WSW).
Method
Marking the 16 Zones on a Plan With the Chakra or a Protractor
Find the centre, draw a reference line, set off the measured tilt to get exact North, then mark 22.5-degree zones starting 11.25 degrees on either side of North, using the Geo Vastu chakra or an ordinary protractor.
Method
Marking the 32 Outer Padas (Devta Pads) on a Plan
After zoning, mark the 32 outer padas of 11.25 degrees each: Soma (N5) is centred on exact North, extending 5.625 degrees on each side, and the remaining padas follow every 11.25 degrees.
Method
Zoning an Irregular Plot From a Line Parallel to the Measured Wall
For an irregular plot, measure the degree of one wall or axis, draw a line through the centre parallel to that wall, set off the measured tilt to get exact North, and then mark the zones as usual.
Principle
Which Centre to Use: Whole Plot for the Gate, Built Area for the House
On large plots such as villas, kothis and farmhouses, the whole plot inside the boundary wall is zoned for the gate and outbuildings, while the house itself is zoned on its constructed area alone.
Principle
Leave the Pishach Bhoomi Open on All Sides and Build in the South and West Part
The outer pishach bhoomi of a plot is always left open on all sides, and on a North-facing plot the building is placed in the South and West part, leaving open space for energy to enter.
Principle
North-East Zone: Clarity of Mind and the Place of Worship
About two hours before sunrise the sun sends ultraviolet rays into the North-East, which bring the greatest alertness to the neurons and glial cells of the brain. This pure energy suits the pure soul, so the North-East is the zone of clarity of mind and the place for worship.
