Why East Facing Houses Are Auspicious
The east direction is governed by Indra, the king of gods, and symbolises new beginnings, health, and prosperity. East-facing homes receive maximum morning sunlight — beneficial for health and positive energy circulation in Nepal's mountainous climate.
Vastu Guidelines for East Facing Houses
- Main Entrance: Best in the northeast or east zones (padas 3, 4, or 5 of the east wall).
- Master Bedroom: Southwest corner for the head of the family.
- Kitchen: Southeast — the Agni (fire) corner.
- Children's Room: Northwest or west zones.
- Study/Home Office: Northeast or north zones promote concentration.
- Puja Room: Northeast corner, ideally at ground level.
East Facing House Vastu Dos and Don'ts
Do keep the east zone open and uncluttered. Do plant tulsi (holy basil) or flowering plants in the east. Don't place toilets or septic tanks in the east or northeast. Don't block east-side windows with heavy furniture.
