Placement tips
The main entrance should be in the second or third pada (section) from the left of the North wall for maximum prosperity.
Keep the North and North-East zones open, lighter, and lower in construction to allow Kubera's energy to flow freely.
Place the living room, office area, or study in the North portion to harness wealth-attracting energies.
Ensure the North direction has more windows and openings than any other direction in the home.
Do
Plant a tulsi (holy basil) plant in the North-East corner of the compound to attract divine and financial blessings.
Keep the slope of the plot or terrace tilted towards the North or North-East for proper energy and water flow.
Use green, blue, or white color tones in the North-facing rooms to resonate with Mercury's intellectual energy.
Avoid
Do not block the North direction with tall trees, heavy construction, or compound walls higher than the South boundary.
Avoid placing the kitchen or septic tank in the North or North-East zone.
Do not construct overhead water tanks or heavy extensions in the North-East corner.
