What the East governs
East is Indra’s direction and the Sun’s: the first light, and the direction the tradition orients study, prayer and the start of the day towards. Like the north it wants openness rather than mass.

அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்
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.
