Vastu Tips from the Desk of PraveenVaastu
Avoid keeping a shoe rack in the southwest direction at all costs. Many people with a southwest entrance make the mistake of placing their shoe rack outside the house, which can create a significant Vastu imbalance. The southwest is traditionally considered the Pitru or ancestral corner, so it is important to keep this area clean, well maintained and free from clutter. Keeping the southwest well lit is also beneficial. You can light a diya in this area regularly to create a warm and positive atmosphere. You may also place a picture of Buddha, a revered Guru or a spiritual sculpture here.
