Placement tips
Place the cooking stove in the South-East corner of the kitchen so the cook faces East while cooking.
Store drinking water and water-related appliances in the North-East direction of the kitchen.
Keep the North-East corner of the kitchen completely free of heavy appliances and clutter.
Refrigerators and heavy storage should be placed in the South-West corner of the kitchen.
Do
Keep the kitchen clean and free of clutter at all times to allow positive energy to flow.
Use light colors like yellow, orange, or red for kitchen walls to enhance the fire element.
Ensure adequate cross-ventilation and natural light in the kitchen, especially from the East.
Avoid
Never place the kitchen directly below or above the puja room, as fire and sacred energy conflict.
Avoid placing the sink (water element) directly adjacent to or opposite the stove (fire element) as these elements clash.
Do not place the kitchen in the North-East corner, which is the sacred Ishanya zone reserved for worship.
