Now that we know the logic of the subject, let’s see what each of the directions are ideally for.

1. North (Uttara)

• Associated Element: Water (Jala)
• Presiding Deity: Kubera, the god of wealth
• Best Use:
  • Wealth & Prosperity: The north is the direction of Kubera, making it the most favorable direction for activities related to finance, wealth generation, and business.
  • Entrance Door: A main entrance facing north is considered highly auspicious, as it allows the positive energy of wealth and prosperity to enter the house.
  • Treasury/Safe: Keep cash, jewelry, and important financial documents in a safe or cabinet placed in the north.
• Avoid: Heavy storage units or clutter, as it may obstruct the flow of wealth.

2. North-East (Ishanya)

• Associated Element: Water
• Presiding Deity: Ishana, a form of Lord Shiva
• Best Use:
  • Prayer & Meditation: The north-east is considered the most sacred direction in Vastu and is ideal for a prayer room (Puja room) or meditation space. It is also the direction for spiritual activities.
  • Water Elements: Ideal for placing water sources, such as wells, water tanks, or fountains. Open spaces or windows in this direction help attract positive energy.
  • Living Rooms & Study: Open and light spaces like living rooms or study rooms are great in the north-east.

  • Heavy construction such as bedrooms, toilets, or kitchens in this direction, as it is believed to block the spiritual flow of energy.

• Associated Element: Air (Vayu)
• Presiding Deity: Indra, the king of gods
• Best Use:
  • Health & Vitality: The east is associated with the Sun (Surya), which brings health, energy, and vitality. Rooms like living rooms, study rooms, or dining areas should face east to capture the beneficial rays of the morning sun.
  • Main Entrance: An east-facing entrance is considered highly auspicious, as it brings positive energy and good health into the house.
  • Windows: Keep windows open in the east to allow fresh air and sunlight to flow into the house.
