Kitchen forms an important consideration irrespective of whether it is for selecting or designing a vastu compliant new house or doing accurate vastu analysis for an existing house. However, nowadays the concept of an open kitchen has been attracting a lot of Indian families, specifically those who have lived abroad for the past few years. Vastu expert Prasad Kulkarni puts forth views about such alterations.
- Out of the 16 directional zones that comprise your house, the ideal zones for an open kitchen are South East (SE) and South-SouthEast (SSE). Both these directions are dominated by the fire element. Food cooked here will taste good, and eating here will also improve your digestion. Not only does it give you good physical health via nutritious food, but it also keeps the money flow healthy.
- Kitchen located in the SSE zone provides fuel for all endeavours and keeps the mental and physical strength in sync. West zone is also good. It promotes gains, good health, physically and financially.
- Kitchen in the South-South- West zone is a taboo as it is considered as a zone of waste and disposal. It is exceedingly harmful to all aspects of life.
- North-East zone is another location that should be avoided for kitchen as it brings mental turmoil – fire in the place of water – and can cause brain-related ailments.
- Kitchen in the North zone affects new opportunities in career, growth and money. Businessmen will see their sales plummet. For people on the job, it will bring in problems with boss as it blocks growth in career.
- The North-NorthEast zone is considered as the zone of health. Kitchen in this zone will cause ill- health, medication and affect immunity and recovery.
