What the ಉತ್ತರ governs

North is Kubera’s direction, the one the tradition associates with wealth and with opportunity arriving. It is kept light and unobstructed: openings, windows and low, empty corners rather than heavy storage.

ಪದೇ ಪದೇ ಕೇಳಲಾಗುವ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳು

Do I have to rebuild if a room is in the wrong place?

No. The tradition assumes you cannot move a kitchen or a staircase, which is why almost every placement rule comes with a remedy — usually a change within the room (where the hob sits, which way the bed faces, what is stored in a corner) rather than a change to the building.
