What the దక్షిణ governs
South is Yama’s direction, and it carries weight rather than light. The tradition builds it up — heavy walls, storage, mass — and keeps openings modest.

తరచుగా అడిగే ప్రశ్నలు
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.
