Toilets

The ideal place to locate bathroom as per Vaastu is the eastern side. In olden days (even today) in villages, people used to take bath in the early morning. Come out of the bathroom, see and worship the "Rising Sun" chanting mantras (hymns). It may be interesting to know that the worship of Sun God was prevalent in many parts of the world. The Sun temple of Konark in Orissa in India, is a very famous one.

Nowadays placing the toilet and bathroom combined and even attached to bedrooms is gaining popularity first because of paucity of space, second because of convenience. In such a case it should never be located in Northeast.

The water pipes, shower, bathtub etc. should be placed in northeast zone of the bathroom. Wash basin can be kept in western side, while cupboard can be inside.
