Vastu Shastra for the kitchen is recommended in the southeast corner. Since in this region, the vitaminized sun rays enter from the east and the air from the south since the earth revolves around the sun towards the southern zone, therefore this angle is positioned to receive ultraviolet rays replete with vitamins A and D for an extended period of time. This helps in purifying the edibles in the kitchen. VASTU SHASTRA Also the solar temperature kills the harmful germs present in the humidity stuck on the western wall. The kitchen is the place from where most of the vital energy is received. It plays a vital role in Vastu. The kitchen should be placed in the southeast direction of the house as this side is called Agni Place. If it is not possible to
place the kitchen in South East, the second-best place in North West. The kitchen should never be placed in North East, South West, and the Centre. The kitchen represents fire element and having a good, well-maintained, clean and fresh kitchen attracts Fire God in the house who has the power to burn all the negativity and fulfill any lack in the house.
Vastu Shastra suggests that a kitchen made using Vastu tips brings luck, contentment, abundance, and wealth to the family. It is the source of happiness and joy which burns away all the harmful vibrations and evil from the house. Constructing a kitchen according to the rules given in Vastu Shastra has always been beneficial for the family for ages. If the kitchen is in South West, loss of business, accident, etc may be the result and if it is in North East, financial distress, court cases, etc. may result. If the kitchen is in North West, the frequency of guests may increase than normal. The slab for cooking should be in the East and North so that the face of a person while cooking is in East or North. The color of the slab should never be black or pure white. It should be reddish, green, or orange. The stove should be placed on the southeast
corner and the gas cylinder should also be kept there under the slab. The sink should be in the North-East corner. The color of the kitchen should be light orange, red, pink, or cream.
Drinking water should be kept in North-East direction. If any water filter or RO system has to be installed, the best place is in North West. However, due to water connection and sink in North East, it can be fixed there also but the electrical connection should be kept far from North East. The fridge should be kept in the South or West direction opening in North or East. Micro Wave Oven, Mixer Grinder, etc should be kept in south East direction. Geyser may be placed in North West direction. Many Vastu consultants suggest Geyser in South East but it is not good there as it contains water and the South East is for fire. So there is a contradiction here. Better to keep in North West. If the store is needed, it should be in South West or South/West of the kitchen. Utensils, food grains, etc. should be kept in the South, West, and North West of the
kitchen. There should be a large window on the East side of the kitchen.
