What the ವಾಯವ್ಯ governs

The north-west — Vayavya — is the air corner: movement, circulation, things that come and go. Guests, storage in transit and utilities sit here easily, and nothing meant to be permanent does.

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.
