North-East direction holds high importance in Vastu Shastra.
This direction, also known as Ishaan Kon, holds immense significance in home Vastu and office Vastu. It is the place where Vastu Purusha’s head lies, making it one of the most sensitive and powerful zones in homes, offices, factories or any property.
If the North-East direction in Vastu is not properly balanced, it can cause financial problems, health problems, and mental stress.
What is the North-East Direction?
The area of a house or building where the north and east directions meet is called the North-East direction, also known as Ishaan Kon. This direction holds great significance in Vastu Shastra because it is where Vastu Purusha’s head is positioned.
The North-East is considered the most important and sensitive direction in Vastu. If this direction is not properly maintained or if something inappropriate is built here, it can lead to various challenges and problems.
As I mentioned earlier, since Vastu Purusha’s head lies in this direction, and the head is the most delicate part of the body, we must be extremely careful when planning or constructing anything in this area. Proper care and adherence to Vastu principles in the North-East can bring harmony, peace, and prosperity.
Things to Take Care of in the North-East Direction
- Never build washrooms or kitchens in the North-East.
- The North-East should not be cut or missing.
- Always keep the North-East clean and clutter-free.
Understanding the “Cut” or Missing Area in the North-East
Many people get confused when I say that the North-East should not be cut. Please understand it carefully:
In an ideal situation, a house should have a square or rectangular shape. However, in flats or apartments, we often don’t get perfect shapes. If a portion of your house is missing and forms an L-shape, that means a part of the house is not within your carpet area—it might be in the hallway, staircase, or balcony. This missing portion is referred to as a “cut” or “missing zone.”
Since the North-East represents the head of Vastu Purusha, placing a toilet seat, stove/burner, or cutting this area can create various problems. That’s why it is crucial to follow these guidelines.
What should not be there in the North-East?
- The North-East area should never be cluttered or messy.
- There should not be a storeroom in this direction.
- It should always be kept clean and open to allow the flow of positive energy.
By following these principles, you can ensure harmony, peace, and prosperity in your home.
Things Which We Can Do in the North-East
Try to keep the North-East clean and open at all times. If you are buying a new house or property, ensure that the North-East area remains open.
You can build large windows or balconies so that the natural positive energy flowing from this direction can freely enter the house.
If you block the North-East, positive energy will not be able to enter, which can create an imbalance. So, it is important not to block this direction.
If you want to build something in the North-East, you can create a kids’ bedroom, temple, drawing room, or study room.
These spaces align well with the energy of this direction and enhance harmony and well-being.
If it’s an office, the same principles apply. There should not be a kitchen, washroom, or storeroom in the North-East direction. Instead, you can set up a workstation or a conference room in this area.
So, these are the things that can be done in the North-East direction to maintain balance and attract positive energy.
Which Colours to Use in the North-East Direction?
Now, we will discuss the colours that should not be used in the North-East direction. You should avoid colours from the red family, which include red, pink, brown, cherry, chocolate, copper, and orange. These colours do not align with the energy of the North-East and can create an imbalance in this direction.
What Colours Can be used in the North-East Direction?
The suitable colours for North-East are pista (pistachio green), green, blue, white, off-white, and cream.
These colours align well with the energy of the North-East and enhance positivity.
