Frequently Asked Questions
Where should the cash locker be placed?
Place the locker or safe in the South-West (Nairutya kona) corner of the house. The door of the locker must open toward the North — the direction of Kubera, the deity of wealth. This positioning continuously invites wealth to flow in.
In which direction should I keep my wallet at home?
Keep your wallet, purse, or daily-use cash in the North-East zone of the bedroom or living room. Use a red or yellow cloth to wrap cash before storing — these colors attract Lakshmi.
Where should gold and jewellery be stored?
Gold and jewellery should be stored in the locker positioned in the South-West, with the locker opening toward the North. Wrap precious items in red or yellow cloth.
What should I keep in the locker to attract money?
Keep a Shree Yantra, Lakshmi-Kubera coin (chandi or panchdhatu), a few cowrie shells (kaudi), and a small bowl of sea salt in the locker. Light a ghee diya near the locker every Friday evening.
Why is the locker direction so important?
The North direction is ruled by Kubera, the divine treasurer. A locker opening North means every time it opens, wealth from Kubera flows out — symbolic of incoming wealth and continuous prosperity.
