Entrance of the south-west house

o The 4th pada (green one) is the best and the most auspicious for

entrance or main door of a south facing home.
o The pada’s 1, 2 and 3 are the ones that you can use (for
entrance/main door) if pada 4 alone is small. But make sure to
include pada 4 along with padas 3, 2 or 1. If you’re using space
up to pada 1, then make sure that the entrance/main door doesn’t
touch the SE corner. Leave at least 6 inches from SE wall.
o The pada’s 5 to 9 are the ones that are prohibited, as per vastu
shastra, for having an entrance. Hence, a main door at padas 5
to 9 is inauspicious.
o Having understood – I believe – the rules and guidelines of
vastu for south facing home entrance, I must also tell you that
all the other principles of vastu shastra remain same for south
facing homes.
o Below I’ve consolidated the dos and don’ts of vastu shastra

Having said all this, I believe and trust that you – now – understand
what a vastu compliant south facing house means and aren’t afraid –
anymore – to dwell in one.

Also, since you’ve understood south facing house vastu, I suggest you
to read what vastu shastra say about kitchen, bedroom, living room,
Pooja room, toilet etc.

 In the northeast side of a Southwest plot, digging a

well/borewell. Ground level water tank etc is a excellent feature.
 In so far as windows are concerned, one may into have more
than two windows (one in SSE and another in WNW). And a
number of windows in the Northeast (NE) room if the number
of windows in SW room is more, it is essential that the NE room
has more than that number of windows. To the extent possible
there should be no windows in either WSW or SSW sides.

 At any cost don't keep the Almira or Iron shelve/shelf or Cup

Boards at Northeast corner.

 Keeping Almira at East is not a good idea if in the house it's

only the available place then the mirror to the Almira is a great
idea.

 Keeping Almira (heavy weight Almira) in North location is not

a good idea if it's only the available place then keeping a mirror
to the almirah is a good thought.
 Leave more open space in the north-east zone of the plot while making
constructions. More open space in the northeast assures growth & good
fortune in life. The individual house should keep their windows at northeast
zone more open through the day.
 Septic tank must never face north east, south-east, or south west corner. It should not
directly touch the compound wall. In fact the tank must be at least two feet away from
the wall.
 The bathroom pipes and toilet pipes must be diverted to the north-west or west
direction. Bathroom and kitchen pipes must have their outlets in the north or east
direction.
