Kitchen Vaastu

Vaastu your Kitchen!
The kitchen deals with the health and nourishment of the family. It can directly cause illness and loss of health if placed or designed inappropriately. Many of us spend long hours in the kitchen cooking our favorite foods for ourselves and our loved ones.



LOCATION
The location of the kitchen in the house should be in the south east side. In case this position is not possible, we can position it in the northern sector of the house. South east is the direction governed by Agni, the god of fire. The inaccurate positioning of the kitchen can cause ill-health, tension and unhappiness for the inhabitants of the house.
APPLIANCE POSITION
Position the stove in the south-east side, but never touching the north or east sides. The kitchen platform is best placed on the east side which allows the cook to face auspicious east while cooking. Storage units should be placed on the south or west walls for storing utensils and crockery. Water taps in the north east are most beneficial. Appliances like dishwasher and toasters are preferred on the south side due to their heat production.
OTHER
Maintain even number of windows and doors in the kitchen for stability and for good health of occupants.
