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.

West-North-West Zone: Depression and the Rudan Kaksh (Weeping Room)
Having poured out all its energy in the West, the Moon is empty by the West-North-West, and the magnetic field and gravitational force become imbalanced there. This is the zone of depression, called the rudan kaksh (weeping room) in the texts, where the energy brings tears.
What it does
Knowing the weeping zone helps keep important activities away from it.
Where
West-North-West zone
Cautions
- Do not place activities that need joy or strength here; the energy here makes people shed tears.
Explanation and notes
The weeping of the Mahabharata is the image used for it: only activities of weeping and mourning suit this zone.

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.
