Toilet, Drawing Room, Office, Study, Dining and Mandir Placement Across the 16 Zones

Interior Vastu class on where and how to build the toilet, drawing room, office, study room, dining area and home temple, with the result of each across all 16 zones. It explains the Vedic view of toilets through the human-body model, the toilet seat facing, interior finishes and a sea sand, alum and salt bowl remedy, and gives a brahmastra of laying crystallised hexagonal quartz under the floor to nullify a bad zone. Office and study interiors cover axis, ventilation, level furniture, solid wood, colours chosen from the horoscope, Nandi, citrine, study stones and pyramids. It closes with dining and puja rules, deity and worshipper facing, placement of appliances, medicines and photos, and a long Q&A.

Key points

  • 1Vedic Vastu gives the toilet no place inside the house; modern Vastu derives the WNW from the human-body model and also uses the SSW
  • 2Never build a toilet in the Brahmasthan, opposite the main door or kitchen, or under the stairs
  • 3A toilet seat facing North by day and South at night gives about 50 percent relief even in a wrong zone; never face East or West
  • 4A glass bowl of sea sand, alum, salt and sea sand, renewed every 3 to 6 months, reduces toilet dosh
  • 5Crystallised four-axis hexagonal quartz under the floor (10 kg per 1000 sq ft, doubled for a bad zone) nullifies a wrongly placed room
  • 6Office: longer North-South axis for the chairman, owner facing North, proper ventilation, level table and chair, NE slope
  • 7Office colour comes from the unafflicted lord of the 10th or 11th house or the business planet; furniture of solid teak
  • 8Nandi on a golden yellow chabutra in the office SW facing North and citrine in a glass bowl on the table draw business
  • 9Study room: door in NE, E, N or W; ivory, golden yellow, green or white; citrine, jasper, amazonite and fluorite; pyramids on books
  • 10An anti-element colour harms only when the whole room is painted in it, not a small item
  • 11West is the ideal dining zone; wash hands and feet and eat calmly
  • 12The deity faces East first and North second, never South; worship facing North for wealth and East for spiritual progress
  • 13Electrical appliances follow the fire element (SE, ESE, SSE, NW); medicines are best kept in the NNE
  • 14Face North or East while studying, praying, eating and bathing

Principles and Rules24

Principle

Human Body as the Model for Vastu Placements

The human body, imagined facing East, is built like the Vastu Purush Mandal, and the position of each body function shows where the matching part of a house belongs.

Whole house: doors in NE, E and N; slope to E and N; underground water tank in NE; kitchen in SE; toilet in WNW

Principle

Toilet in Vedic Vastu: Outside the Foundation, Never Attached

Vedic Vastu texts assign no place to a toilet inside the house and say its wall should not even touch the house foundation; toilets were built outside, and palaces placed them at the rear in the West-North-West.

Outside the house foundation; in palaces at the rear, on the lower side, in the West-North-West, reached by a pathway not joined to the main wall

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.

Workable: South-South-West (modern Vastu) and West-North-West. Emergency only: North-West (with a strong Moon) and East-South-East (septic tank). Avoid all other zones.

Principle

Drawing Room Effects in Each of the 16 Zones

East is the ideal drawing room zone, North suits business talks and the NE gives peace, while the SE, SSW and WNW are poor; a room energised with crystallised quartz can work almost anywhere.

Best: East. Good: North, NNE, NE, ENE, NNW, West, WSW, South (not too open). Moderate: SSE, SW, NW. Poor: ESE, SE, SSW, WNW.

Principle

Office Types Suited to Each of the 16 Zones

Each zone favours a particular kind of office: East for administration, North for finance, West for engineering and profit, WSW for every office, SW for employment and stability and ENE for media.

Excellent: East, West, WSW, SW, North. Moderate: SSE, NNW, NW (transport). Avoid: SE, SSW (unless energised with quartz), WNW.

Principle

Office Furniture of Solid Teak Wood, No Black or Grey Glass

Business is ruled by Budh (Mercury), which wood represents, so office tables and furniture should be made of the best solid wood such as teak, without black or grey glass tops.

Office table, wardrobes and furniture; study tables

Principle

Study Room Effects in Each of the 16 Zones

WSW, West, SW, East, North and NE are strong study zones and ESE suits research, while SE, SSE, South, WNW, NW and NNW disturb concentration.

Best: WSW, West, SW, East, North, NE, NNE, ENE. Research: ESE. Avoid: SE, SSE, South, WNW, NW, NNW.

Principle

Dining Area Effects in Each of the 16 Zones

West is the ideal dining zone because Varun gives coolness and taste; WSW, North, NNE, East, SSE and South also support eating, while ESE, SE, SSW and WNW disturb it.

Best: West. Very good: WSW, North, NNE, NE, East, ENE. Good: SSE, South. Moderate: SW, NW, NNW. Avoid: ESE, SE, SSW, WNW.

Principle

Which Zone Suits Which Puja: Mandir Placement Across the 16 Zones

Each zone suits a particular worship: North for Saraswati and Ganesh, NNE for pranic sadhana, NE and East for meditation, South for Hanuman and Devi, West best of all, while SE, SSE and SSW suit no puja.

Best: West. By deity: North, NNE, NE, East, South, SW (ancestors), WSW, WNW, NW, NNW. No puja: SE, SSE, SSW.

Principle

Facing of the Deity and the Worshipper in the Home Temple

The deity faces East first and North second, never South; the worshipper faces North for wealth, East for spiritual progress and South or West for tantra, and before a consecrated idol all directions become zero.

Home temple, puja room and festival puja

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.

Ancestors: South-West, outside the bedroom. Family photos: South wall, not in the South or SSW zones

Questions asked in this session

What is sea sand in the toilet bowl remedy, and what if it is not available?

It is sand from the sea (samudra), which has special qualities. If it is not available, use ordinary river sand. When you travel to the coast in the South, bring back 2 to 5 kg of sea sand.

Can rock salt be used in the toilet bowl remedy?

Yes. Rock salt can be used along with alum and sand.

Should toilet tiles follow the colour of the zone?

They can follow the zone colour, but white or grey cause no problem in a toilet in any zone, because the toilet is represented by Shani and Rahu and here the planet is given more importance than the zone.

If only a bathing area is in the North and the WC is removed, is that fine?

Yes, absolutely. A room used only for bathing is fine in the North or the East; the East is the ideal place for bathing.

If the plot is tilted so that a North-facing toilet seat actually faces NNE, will it work?

Yes, it will work. A slight tilt is acceptable; it is a treatment in any case.

Did royal palaces have toilets, and where were they placed?

Yes. Toilets were built at the rear of palaces, on the lower side, reached by pathways that did not join the main wall, and they were placed in the West-North-West. Kings never built attached toilets beside every room, even though they had every resource.

Does a toilet in the North-East always cause cancer?

No, that claim is not fully true. Cancer has many factors, and many hotels and homes have NE toilets whose owners never got cancer. A NE toilet does disturb the positive energy of that zone and brings illness, so cancer is possible, but not certain.

Why is a drawing room in the South-East considered bad?

The SE suits the kitchen, where fire is needed just as a roti needs fire to cook. In a drawing room we do not want heat or aggravated pitta while putting our views across; in the SE pitta and heat rise, bringing anger, irritation and an aggressive tone, so it is advised against.

Which part of the human body is its Brahmasthan?

The navel (nabhi) is the exact Brahmasthan of the body.

Should a heavy sofa be kept in the North of the drawing room?

No. As the human-body model shows, the North must stay light so that the magnetic current can flow out from the North to the South; making it heavy weakens this magnetic flow.

Can a person whose Sun is debilitated (neech) have the drawing room in the East?

Yes, with remedies; he will not leave the East unused or build a toilet there. A drawing room is not a permanent seat. Only permanent seating, such as an 8-hour business seat, should not be chosen in the zone of a debilitated planet.

Can crystallised quartz be used in a house or flat, and how much is needed?

Yes. In a house or flat, put it in the flooring, or in the soil filling when the floor is made. Use about 10 kg per 1000 sq ft for a normal area; to nullify a zone, double it or more, for example 2, 5 or even 10 kg for a 100 sq ft room that must be built in the wrong zone.

I used quartz but got no results. Why?

Only crystallised quartz in hexagonal, four-axis form gives full results. Ordinary quartz gives only 10 to 20 percent results, though never a negative one: sand also contains quartz of the same chemistry, but in amorphous form, just as buttermilk and ghee both come from milk but differ greatly in value.

Which zone and colour suit an IT office?

Decide by zone and by the horoscope: look at the lords of the 10th house (karmesh), the 9th (bhagya), the 2nd (dhanesh) and the 11th (labhesh), and use the planet that will draw in money.

Can citrine and these items be kept in shops or at home, or used for online meetings?

Yes. All these items can be kept in shops, citrine can be kept at home, and citrine can also be used during online meetings.

Which planet does a detergent or chemical company represent?

Chemicals, natural or artificial, belong to Mangal (Mars) and represent the South.

Can an office be built in a basement?

An office needs ventilation, so a basement does not suit proper work. Only businesses of an adharmic nature, such as some salons and facial parlours, run well in basements; they do not need pure energy like the Sun's.

Where should a medicine (pharma) office be?

The best places for a medicine office are the East or the West.

Can pyrite be kept in the office?

Yes, there is no problem. Citrine and quartz work for attraction, while pyrite works for stability.

Can the cheque book be kept in the NNE at home too?

Yes. These locations are not only for offices; the same formula works at home.

Where should an engineering consultant's office be?

The West is best, because engineering and technology represent Shani.

Where should a share trading office be?

The West and North can work, but the best is the South-West, the zone of Rahu: trading is Rahu's work, Rahu is glamour and makes one rich, and people with an exalted Rahu find that whatever share they buy rises. In one case the teacher checked the swar before a student bought a share, and it rose sharply within 15 days.

How should citrine be kept?

Put a bunch of citrine in a glass bowl and keep it on the table in its natural form.

Which planet does an electronics shop represent?

Electronics represent Mangal (Mars).

Where should a Vastu consultant's office be?

The texts define a vastuvid as one who is pure in thought, does good deeds, is virtuous and loves justice. So the office suits the zones that give justice: the West (Shani), the North-East and the East (the Sun). All three are correct.

Should the stones be kept only in raw shape?

Raw shape also works; no particular form is needed. A statue carved from the stone, such as a Saraswati in citrine, lapis lazuli or any quartz, works double.

If the study table is in the West, can a red stone like jasper be kept on it?

Yes. A colour counts as an anti-element only when the whole room is done in it; an item of about 10 percent of the volume causes no dosh. Children do not stop using red or blue books, and women in red bangles or sarees still go into the North.

Can all four study minerals be kept together?

Yes, all four can be kept together without any problem.

If Jupiter is exalted in the horoscope, can the study table be in the North-West?

Yes, with an exalted Jupiter the study table can be in the North-West.

Can books be kept in the NNE or NE?

Yes, books can be kept in the North, NNE or NE.

Can one study sitting on the bed?

No. The atoms of the bed bring laziness, so always study at a table.

What size of pyramid should be used?

Any size you can keep, such as 4, 8 or 10 inch. Its specific angle of inclination is taught in the pyramid class.

Where can these stones be bought?

They are available online all over the world; buy them and check their purity. Addresses can be shared in the group on request.

Does a pyramid have any anti-direction?

No. Pyramids and quartz are allowed in all directions.

If a person's Moon is exalted, can the North-West be used?

Yes, if the Moon is exalted the North-West can be used.

If a zone is already good, should quartz be used?

If it is not needed, do not use it; but using quartz causes no harm or loss.

Should a pyramid be kept only on the ground, and how should it be placed on a table?

It can be kept on a table too. Wherever a pyramid is installed it must sit at zero degrees, perfectly level, and be aligned along the North-South axis, correcting for any tilt; people who get no results usually do not know how to install it.

Can pyramids be placed on every table of a library?

Yes, pyramids can be kept on every table in a library.

Can a fan be installed above the dining table?

No, there is no need for one; it brings electromagnetic currents and many other negative effects.

Can the dining table be round?

Yes, a round table works if it is placed in a water-element zone. Furniture shapes for each direction are covered in the next class.

Can a study or dining table be a folding one when space is short?

Yes, there is no problem. Another formula, sizing it according to aay, can also be applied, folding or not.

Can we eat sitting on the floor in the kitchen?

Yes. For some people, according to the horoscope, eating in the kitchen itself even frees them from the affliction of a planet.

How can a puja room in the South-East be corrected?

If it holds a consecrated (pratishthit) idol, the idol should be moved. If the idol is not consecrated, there is no need to worry, as these rules apply to consecrated idols.

Can a photo of God be put up in the Brahmasthan?

Yes, there is no problem in putting God's photo in the Brahmasthan, because it is the place of Brahma.

If the master bedroom is in the South-West, can ancestors' photos be put up in it?

No. Ancestors' photos should not be put inside the bedroom, even when the bedroom is in the South-West.

Do paintings or decorative idols of God also need correct placement?

Yes, they also represent a planet and should be placed correctly. A consecrated God's photo should face North or East, or West if that is not possible, but never South; South-facing is for the photos of ancestors who have left this world.

If the mandir on the study table faces East, we would face West. Is that right?

Sit before it so that your own face is towards the North. When you face a consecrated idol all directions become zero; direction is small and the Lord is great.

Can a mandir face North or West?

A North-facing mandir is fine; temples of God are often kept North-facing. A West-facing mandir is moderate.

Can a temple built in the wrong zone be treated?

Yes. However wrong the zone, merely correcting the direction of the deity corrects your condition; the full method is given in the next class.

During Diwali puja the deity faces South and we face North. Is that right?

No, it is wrong. Seat the deity in the West facing East, and sit so that you look at the deity while your face is towards the North. The Lord's direction is what matters, just as the teacher's direction matters in a classroom.

Should the deity's clothes follow the colour of the zone?

No, do not become obsessive about it. A small red cloth in the Ishaan does not put fire there; the effect comes only when the whole zone is made red. Nobody skips puja because they are wearing red clothes.

Is it acceptable for the front door to face a temple?

If there is no road in between, it is wrong. If a road runs between the door and the temple, the dosh ends.

Will an AC or cooler in the South-East cool down its fire element?

No. An AC or cooler is cooled by electricity, not by ice; when the power goes it stops. It runs on electricity and so represents the fire element, which suits the SE. Place coolers in the same zones as ACs.

A washing machine uses water, so why can it go in the South-East?

What runs it is electricity, which represents fire; the kitchen in the SE also has water. So a washing machine can go in the SE, ESE, SSE and also the North-West.

Can a globe be kept on the study table?

Yes, there is no problem in keeping a globe.

Where should the oil tank be in a food factory?

It should not be underground; keep it overhead, in the West direction.

Where should family photos be put?

Anywhere except the South and SSW zones, on a wall where everyone's face looks North, that is, on the South wall. The living face the direction of life; only the departed are made to face Yama in the South.

If the office flooring is already done, how can quartz be used?

Do not break anything. Fill a glass bowl with plenty of quartz, add water and leave it for the whole day; next day mop the office with that water. The office gets energised and the energy flow increases. A bowl of quartz can also be kept on the table.

Can a black statue of Buddha be kept?

A statue of Lord Buddha can be kept, but not a Laughing Buddha.

Where should a doctor sit?

In the West zone, facing East, so that he can analyse calmly.

Can a Khajuraho statue be kept?

If it is kept with a purpose there is no problem; it depends on the purpose for which the statue was made and is kept.

Should the study table also be of solid wood?

Yes, the table at which children study should be made of solid wood.

Can quartz be kept in the drawing room?

Yes. Quartz and pyramids can be used in all directions and all zones except the bathroom, which needs no extra energy.

Do these stones need to be cleansed?

Yes. They are first cleaned with sea salt, then charged, energised with a mantra and given a command for their purpose.

Can a Laughing Buddha be kept at home?

No. Einstein is said to have wished at the end of his life to be born in India to research its sacred soil, the land of the Tirthankaras, Ram, Mahavir and Hanuman. Indians need not keep meat-eating foreign deities such as the Laughing Buddha or the Chinese Fuk Luk Sau; keep portraits or statues of Ram, Hanuman or Mahavir instead, and do not let them be dwarfed by such figures.

In a gaushala the cows keep falling sick one after another. What should be done?

The energy of that place is certainly disturbed, so correct its energy, for example through mercury injection.

Where should a construction company's office be?

Construction belongs to Mangal, so the office should be in the South zone, with its door in the East.

Which way should one face while studying, praying, eating or bathing?

Face North or East during study, meditation, puja, bhajan, meals and bathing.
