Kitchen
Best location for the kitchen is the South-East (Aagneya) corner. The cooking platform should be towards eastern side wall of the kitchen, as good results can be achieved when one faces East while cooking in the South-East corner of the kitchen. Platform touching the Northern wall of kitchen should be avoided, but platform can be extended on the Southern side. When the entrance to the house is from East and South it may be difficult for obvious reasons to locate the kitchen in the South-East corner, and in that case the Kitchen can be located in the North-West corner. Here also the platform should not touch the Northern side wall and cooking should be done facing East in the South-East corner of the kitchen only. And when the kitchen is located in the Western side and outside the house, it should be in North-West corner and the gap between the kitchen and house should be less than that between the kitchen and compound on the North and floor level should be little more than general house floor level. Similarly when it is located outside the house in the South-East corner, there should be a gap between kitchen and East compound wall, which shall be more than the gap between the house and kitchen and the level of the floor should be little higher than that of the house.
North side entrance to the site particularly form North-East corner with the kitchen in the South-East corner of the building is the best opportunity anybody can look forward. If the entrance is from the North or West, then the kitchen can be on the South-East corner and the above said procedure can be followed. In no case the kitchen should be in the North-East corner of the house or of the plot. If any one attempts this, then it is like burning oneself to death in all spheres of life.
If loft is required in the kitchen it should be in the Western and Southern walls and not in the Northern and Eastern walls. If needed all the four walls can be used for having lofts and not the North and East walls only. Sink or basin for cleaning vessels in the kitchen should not be exactly in the North-East corner of the kitchen, but drinking water should flow from North-East corner. If the drainage water flows through North-East corner it is good.
