ಆಗ್ನೇಯ Vastu: Element, Guardian and Which Rooms Belong Here

What the ಆಗ್ನೇಯ governs

The south-east — Agneya — is the fire corner, and it is where fire belongs. The kitchen, the boiler, the electrical load: the tradition puts heat here because heat placed elsewhere is held to disturb the zone it lands in.

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.
