Vastu Shastra is an ancient science of architecture that is
practiced widely to ensure happiness and prosperity. Today, many houses are
designed in keeping with the principles of this science. The kitchen of a house
is by far the most important part of the house because it is the source of
health, sustenance and happiness for the people in the house.
There are a few
tips that can be followed while setting up the kitchen:
1.
The gas stove should be placed in the south-eastern
part of the house, to ensure that the person cooking is facing the east.
2.
The sink and taps should be in the north-eastern
corner, away from the gas as fire and water are opposing elements. Water flow
should be from the south-west to the north-east.
3.
The refrigerator should be kept in facing the
south-west, a foot away from the corners. Do not place it facing the north-east
of the kitchen.
4.
Place all electronic appliances such as
toasters, microwave ovens, etc facing the south-east of the kitchen. Avoid
placing these items facing the north-east direction.
5.
Place your water containers like your water
filter, bottles, pots, etc facing the north-east direction.
6.
Use vibrant colours in the kitchen, like green,
yellow and red.
7.
Do not place your dining table in the centre of
the room, instead place it facing the north-west.
8.
The geyser should be installed facing the
south-east.
9.
Food items such as grains, rice, dal, etc.
should not be kept on the northern or eastern walls, but on the southern and
western walls.
10.
Place your dishwasher so that it is facing the
north west of the kitchen.
