Description

Characteristics of balanced washroom:

Separation: It is preferable to have washroom located away from the main living spaces to maintain privacy and hygiene.
Direction: Ideally, washrooms should be situated in the west or northwest direction of the house.
Ventilation: Proper ventilation in the washroom area is essential to ensure the flow of fresh air and eliminate odor.
Drainage: Efficient drainage systems in washrooms prevent stagnation of water and maintain cleanliness.
Privacy: Washrooms should have adequate measures in place to ensure privacy, such as proper doors and partitions.

Characteristics of imbalanced washroom:

Northeast Placement: Placing a washroom in the northeast direction is considered inauspicious in Vastu, as it may disrupt the positive energy flow.
Sharing Walls: Washrooms sharing walls with the kitchen, prayer room, or bedroom are generally discouraged, as it is believed to contaminate positive energies in those areas.
Door Placement: The entrance of the washroom should not directly face the main entrance of the house or the kitchen.
Hygiene and Cleanliness: It is essential to maintain cleanliness and proper sanitation in washrooms to avoid negative energy accumulation.
Avoidance: It is advised to avoid constructing a washroom above or adjacent to the puja room, as it may create negative energy conflicts.
