  • A well in the middle of a house or plot is very inauspicious.





  • Plots with round, triangular, polygonal and other shapes may constantly lead one into some problem or other.





  • Square and rectangular plots are good.





  • Blocking of NE(Ishan) portion of the house/industry resrticts the inflow of the blessings of   God. It leads to tension, quarrel and insufficient growth of the inhabitants, especially children of the owner.





  • Having a toilet/fireplace in NE corner of the house or industry can ruin it financially besides mental tension & quarrel amongst people.
