Also known aswaterpani
A ghee diya with white, red and yellow wicks pointing to the four directions is lit on a water-filled earthen ghat in the North-East, over a mantra written in kesar; a wick that goes out before the ghee ends points to the direction holding a defect.
Earthen ghat (kalash) holding 1 litre of water, with a capacity of about 1.25 litres
Ishaan (North-East) corner of the house or flat
An earthen kalash full of water, topped with a coconut and five mango leaves, is set on a heap of wheat in the North-East of a built home; the colour, shine and growth of the javare that sprout from the wheat show the energy of the home.

Mahendra (Indra), the fourth devta of the East, is the king, sustainer and administrator who brings the energy of the planets, Sun, Moon and 27 nakshatras to earth and spreads it evenly through the house. It gives control over the mind and senses, right decisions, government support, contacts, name and fame.
Element: water
Pad E4 of the East side, 73.125 to 84.375 degrees (East-North-East and East zones)
Surya, the fifth devta at the centre of the East, lights the three worlds, destroys darkness and negativity, gives energy to all planets and never misses its time. Balanced, it gives fearlessness, good decisions, speaking power, fame, leadership, government support and perfect time management.

Pad E5, the centre of the East, 84.375 to 95.625 degrees (East zone)
The water element is wavy or moon-shaped, white, located from North to North-East, liquid by nature and ruled by the Moon and Venus. Borings, wells, underground tanks, basins and other water sources represent it; balanced it brings joy, peace, confidence and wealth, imbalanced it brings irritation, disease and loss of money.
North to North-East zone
Artefacts of enemy elements kept together block success; a lamp lit in a bowl of water joins fire and water and is allowed only on Diwali.
Offices, reception areas and homes
The water element is shown by a silver or white half moon, its colour is white, its zone runs from North to North-East and its metal is silver; water bodies and mirrors represent it.
Water
North to North-East; avoid the opposite South-East
The overhead tank belongs in the NW, the Moon's place, or in Varun's West. Most people wrongly build it in the SW, which is dry Rahu-Ketu territory with very intense infrared.
West to North-West
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.
Water, especially for Moon energy: about 60 percent
Room decoration in general; plants are chosen by planet and direction
Grid the kitchen from its own centre and place items by zone: the refrigerator in SE, South, West or ideally NW, spices in the South, knives and cutlery in the SW, drinking water in NNE or ENE and the vegetable basket in the East.

Zones of the kitchen gridded from its own centre
Check with a water level (spirit level) or a contour map, or simply pour a bucket of water on the floor: the direction in which it flows is the direction of the slope.
If the bubbles move to the sides and quickly vanish, merging into the water, the land does have a defect, but it will be resolved with treatment. The water then turning clear confirms this. Observing the practical properly takes about an hour.
No. The test is not possible everywhere: on sandy land, on land with very high porosity and permeability that absorbs the water as soon as it is poured, or on fractured land with many cracks, the water cannot show any movement. The test works on solid land.
Panchang means the five parts of any tree: its root, bark, fruit, flower and leaves. Boil them in water and watch whether any sound comes, like the crackling heard when ghee or oil is used for tempering. Quiet boiling shows good land; jumping and crackling show negative energy.
Use a ghat that holds 1 litre of water, with a capacity of about 1.25 litres. Fill it with water only; nothing else goes inside.
No. Water lines reach every zone anyway through washrooms and taps, and lines inside the ground do not have much effect. Only dirty water lines matter, which is why they should run clockwise.
When Adi Prabhu (Shiva) did sadhana on Kailash, the friction produced heat that began to melt the mountain, so water matters most for cooling this place; Shikhi's energy stored with water also spreads through the house and keeps removing about 50% of its vastu doshas. In the drawing room the family sits as if in sadhana and makes its plans and policies, and in a conference room others are convinced with one's ideas and vision and given targets. Worship of Adi Prabhu (Shiva) in a puja room here raises the energy further; an office and a borewell also suit this pad.
Yes. In a flat seen on a recent visit, whose door is exactly at E2 (Parjanya), the resident keeps a water-filled kalash with a coconut on it outside the door and changes the water daily; the coconut has grown into a large plant, and the resident reported very good results for ten years without needing any planetary remedies. This is exactly the remedy prescribed for Parjanya.
Yes. Water stored anywhere, including on the roof, represents the water element. But if the tank is built in a square shape, it moves to the earth element, because the square is the earth element's shape, and it becomes an earth combination.
Underground water movement 1.5 to 2.5 feet below the surface is not treated as directional, just as groundwater flows in every direction under the land; it becomes a dosh only when water is drawn up. So the drainage pattern itself is not a dosh. But a drain inspection chamber built at a wrong place and left open causes trouble, and dirty water flowing anti-clockwise has a considerable negative effect.
The sun's rays take about 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach the earth, and only about 55% of their energy arrives; the other 45% is lost on the way. Of what arrives, trees and plants capture about 95%, mirrors 80%, yantras 60 to 90%, pyramids 65% (which is why fruit kept under a pyramid stays fresh), water 60% (mainly the Moon's energy), metals 45% and stones 35%. Plastic and other petroleum by-products capture none, so interiors should rely on natural materials and on indoor and outdoor plants chosen for the planet of each direction.
Nowhere: an aquarium is fancy vastu, not Vedic vastu. Keeping any creature captive is not right, and water kept impure for a long time disturbs the water element further; just as being shut in a 6 x 6 room for life with food provided would feel wrong, it is wrong to imprison living beings. An aquarium does not remove vastu dosh, it creates one, and no one's wealth has grown from keeping one.
