What the పూర్వ 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.
The పూర్వ is guarded by ఇంద్ర. The tradition places ముఖ్య ద్వార, పూజా కక్ష, బచ్చోం కా కక్ష, బైఠక, అధ్యయన కక్ష, జల టంకీ here.

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.
