The significance of a good kitchen can be understood by the fact that a woman, especially an Indian wife, spends most of her day in this part of the house, preparing delicious meals for the rest of the family. We gain energy from food and this food is prepared in the place called Kitchen. Hence it can be righteously said that the kitchen form the backbone of the house. A house without a kitchen is like a car without wheels.
In olden days, kitchens were situated in open spaces which would allow lots of light to penetrate from all directions and also permit easy escaping of smoke generated while cooking. But in the modern day world, due to scarcity of space, generally very small areas are allotted to kitchens. In such a scenario, it becomes almost mandatory to create a Vaastu-friendly kitchen which can take care of our emotional, physical and biological requirements completely.
The most ideal location for a kitchen is the south-east. Talking about other directions, where a kitchen in the north-east would bring in heavy losses for the family, the one situated in the south-west would lead to clashes among the family members. Nevertheless, there would be high rise in expenditures if a kitchen happens to be in the north-west of a plot.
Both natural as well as artificial lighting, in abundance, is a must for the kitchen area. There should also be proper ventilation with windows on the eastern sides.
The kitchen door should be in the north but care should be taken to assure that while cooking food, the cook’s back should not face the door.
The color palette for a kitchen should be in fiery shades of red, orange, brown yellow and so on. Blue, being the color of water, and black should not be used at all.However, a tinge of green can be used to rectify the wrong Vaastu placements.
The north-eastern corner should not be used to place the cooking stove. The ideal place for this is the eastern walls or the south-east corner as this direction is called the AgneyaDisha, named after fire. The solar heat is at its maximum when the sun faces this direction and hence it is believed to be occupied by the Lord of Fire as per Hindu mythology. Also, the sun releases Vitamins D and F when it reaches the south-east direction which is highly beneficial for everyone.
All heat-generating equipments like geysers, microwaves, hot cases and other electronic gadgets should be placed in the south-east direction of the kitchen.
The cook should either face the east or the south direction while cooking. Facing the north or the west direction is not favorable.
The element of water, as we all know, is anti-fire. However, it is also not possible to work in the kitchen in the absence of the former. Hence great care should be taken while positioning these two anti-elements. Water arrangements should be restricted to the north or north-east. They should be placed to the left side of the gas stove. Wash basins, sinks and even drinking water should be on the left side while using the gas stove.
A refrigerator should not be placed inside the kitchen as the water and fire elements tend to clash in this case.
Heavy furniture, groceries and grains should all be stored in the southern and western sides of the kitchen, including the kitchen cabinets and closets.
The northern and eastern corners of the kitchen should always be kept clutter-free.
Pictures of Gods and Goddesses should never be kept in the kitchen. Keeping the Mandir here is a taboo as per Vaastu rules and regulations.
A kitchen should be the most hygienic and clean place of the house and must be kept spic and span at all times.
