Frequently Asked Questions
Which direction is best for the toilet?
The toilet should be in the West or North-West corner of the house. The toilet seat should face North-South so the user faces North or South (never East or West) while using it.
Where should the toilet NEVER be placed?
Never place the toilet in the North-East (Ishaan kona) — it severely disturbs the home's spiritual energy. Avoid South-East (Agneya kona) for toilets as it weakens the fire element of the home.
Can the toilet share a wall with the pooja room or kitchen?
No — toilets must not share a wall with the pooja room, kitchen, or master bedroom. If unavoidable, use thick walls and seal any cracks; place a Vastu pyramid on the shared wall.
What is the remedy for a toilet in the North-East?
Remedies: keep the door always closed, place a small mirror on the door (outside), keep a bowl of sea salt inside the toilet (replace weekly), place a copper Vastu pyramid above the door, and ensure the floor is always dry.
Which direction should the user face while using the toilet?
The user should face North or South while using the toilet — never East (direction of the sun) or West. The toilet seat orientation must support this.
