West Facing Vastu- A Proper Guidelines from the Vastu Expert
Whether you believe it or not, when it comes to constructing a new house or purchasing an
existing one, we always prefer homes either north-faced or east-faced. Because of the myth we
used to hear since our childhood from our parents and grandparents, we sometimes think that
the houses facing west are inauspicious as the sun sets west. But what would you do if you got
a west-facing place with a great offer and locality? Lets find out if this is inauspicious with this
article.
What Is A West-Facing Vastu?
If a house faces the west, then it is a west facing Vastu. For better understanding, stand inside
your home by facing your main door or gate. If you face the west, then you are living in a west-

rumors in the market about the west-facing house. According to someone, they are
inauspicious, but Vastu shastra never claims that north is an excellent direction to build s house
and west is terrible. As per the Indian Vastu experts, all the houses, irrespective of the
direction, are auspicious and have their significance, as long as they comply with Vastu and
follow all the Vastu rules.

they can be compatible with other properties as well.
Main Entrance In A West-Facing Vastu:
One of the essential Vastu tips for the west-facing homes is the direction of the house and main
entrance. It is vital to consider while doing the west facing house vastu.
According to Vastu shastra, there are eight padas on the west side of a vastu, namely Pitra,
Dauvarika, Sugriva, Pushpdanta, Varuna, Asura, Shosha, and PapayakSma. The padas Sugriva
and Pushpdanta are perfect for the main entrance of a west-facing home.
In simple words, the best direction for placing the main door entrance is the Mid-West or part
of the home. Also, using some metalwork on your west-facing door (metal name board,
metallic doorbell) will be right for your home, and try to make it clutter-free. Keep the dustbins
or broken furniture away from the main door.
Bedrooms In A West-Facing Vastu:
Ensure that your bedroom is perfectly aligned to the elements of nature to get quality sleep,
and hence it is essential to decide the right place for the bedroom.
In a west facing house vastu, the south-western corner is considered the perfect direction for
placing the master bedroom of the house. While for the children's rooms, the south, west, and
north-west are the more preferable. If you wish to have a second bedroom or guest room, you
can consider the north-west corner.
Kitchen In A West-Facing House:
The kitchen is also an essential area of our house as it is the place where we cook our foods,
and it holds the health and nutrition of the family. Also, it contains the fire element, so placing
it in any wrong direction can cause lots of financial and health problems.
According to the Vastu experts, the south-east is the best direction for placing the kitchen
where the kitchen counter and cooktop faces will face eastside. One should strictly avoid the
north-eastern corner of the west-faced house for the kitchen.
Staircases In A West-Facing Vastu:
Both internal and external staircases can bring huge problems if placed incorrectly. According to
the Vastu experts, the ideal directions for installing a staircase in a west-faced house are the
southern, south-western, and western parts of the house. North and northeast should be
strictly avoided, as it can bring enormous financial and neurological problems.
If you consider placing the staircases in the south-west part of the south and west sides of a
house, then make them anti-clockwise, and for the southern part of the south-west direction,
run them clockwise.
Puja Room In A West-Facing Vastu:
Temple or puja room is an important place where you worship God and channel all the divine
energies around you. In Indian temples, the idols are west faced so the pilgrims can face the
idols on their eastern side. Ensure your house has this similarity too.
According to the Vastu, the north-eastern zone is considered the best place for placing the Puja
room in a west facing vastu. But not every house has a separate space for the puja room. In this
situation, make your living room in the North-East direction and place a small temple for doing
puja, stand in that room to worship, and do puja.
Toilet And Septic Tank In A West-Facing Vastu
Placing the toilets and septic tanks in the right direction matters the most. For carrying all the
waste of your house, these are full of negative energies and can lead to severe injuries or health
issues if not placed correctly.
Generally, we consider placing the septic tanks on the front side of the house, but it will be
dangerous for the west-facing home. According to Vastu, the south of the south-west (SSW)
and west of the north-west (WNW) are the ideal places for the septic tanks and east of the
south-east (ESE) for the toilets in a west-facing house vastu.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, I can only suggest that the house's face direction doesn’t matter if you follow all

to make a healthy living on the property. Consult with a Vastu expert before purchasing a
property to get brief suggestions on everything.
