This is a verifiable fact. Most common defects : We place the main door in exalted position but stair case and stair case cover
also would be placed at the same place (exalted). This results in loss of the good effects of having main door in the exalted place and in its place the negative effects would be predominant.
When toilet/ kitchen etc are built on terrace, there will be small ditch / sink from which drain water is taken out on the roof / terrace thus causing that portion to be heavy and thick and this influences the residents. If such constructions are only towards South, West and South West, it is beneficial.
Effect of multiple storeys : If there be construction of any type such as ditches, sumps, extension,
reduction, increased height or otherwise - be it on ground floor or roof, their effect will be manifest on all the storeys. If however only one storey is deviating from the Norm, such deviation affects the
relevant storey only. Location of Toilet : The modern toilets where the fecal matter is flushed out are clean thus can be
placed anywhere in the house. However the seat of the toilet should never face East / West (when it is thus we will be facing East/West while easing ourselves and this is a defect). While sleeping, the feet should not be towards East (this causes extreme suffering at the time of death). Ensure
that no filth or garbage accumulates towards NorthEast. Prayer Room : Generally North East is the place of foundation laying. The prayer room should be West
/ South / South West. We offer our best to the Lord. (We even offer water to Him, whereas He is the source of Holy Ganges) similarly we offer donations to Him, whereas He owns everything on earth. The head of the family resides in West / South / South West side, if this be the prayer room, the Lord Himself would become the head of the family and as head of the family He will protect the residents. In all famous temples such as Tirupati, Banke Bihari, Golden Temple ect., the sanctum - sanctorum is towards West / South / South West and entrance is in the East / North / NorthEast.
Place of Kitchen : As per Vastu principles, kitchen is always placed in SouthEast (for the simple
reason that for most of the year the winds blow from West to East or from North to South). With kitchen in SouthEast smoke would not enter in the house. Generally kitchen and energy meter can be placed anywhere in the house. However bathroom & toilets should never be over the
kitchen. Outside perimeter / Compound Wall : The outside or compound wall may be constructed with
uniform height all over and the roof being straight or sloping as per Vastu (slope towards NorthEast). In so doing if North East is at higher level when compared to South West, it is
considered as malevolent. Effects of sumps / ditches : If bore well, septic tank, underground water tank or any other kind of
sump or sink when constructed inside the house, it will have serious consequences. If however they are outside the house their influence is minimized.
Pole / Antenna: Where ever a pole/antenna is erected on the roof that portion becomes higher than
the rest. Increased height towards North, East, North East, South East or North West is debilitating. Such constructions are best towards West, South or SouthWest.
Generally wooden cupboards are affected by termites and this does not bode well. It is
