Prayer Room

After bedroom, the most significant place in the house is the prayer room. Here when you place the pictures of deities it should be on the eastern side only. Pictures of the deceased person should not be kept with the deities, but on the outside of the altar.

Do not build your prayer room under the staircase, it is not considered auspicious. The space under the stairs can be used for storage. Picture of deities should be placed on the east, so wards can pray facing east.

Tulsi Plant

Every conventional house recommends planting of medicinal plants or herbs, or flowers to perform pooja. These plants with their fragrance and healing power add positive energies to the ambiance.

Bathroom

Most of the time, we have seen that bathrooms are made anywhere in the house, which tends to radiate negative energy in the house. As Per Vastu principles, bathroom should be built in a specific location. Bathroom should not be constructed in any corners of the house. Ideally the Eastern part of the house is the best place to have a bathroom. The toilet should be built on the north-west or west part of the building.

Stairs

When the stairs are built, it should always rise from the East direction to land on West or start from North to land on South.
