Principle
Placement of Ancestor and Family Photos
Photos of departed ancestors go in the South-West, but never inside a bedroom; family photos of the living go anywhere except the South and SSW zones, on a wall where their faces look North.
Principle
False Ceiling Shapes Matched to the Element of the Zone
A ceiling's shape brings its element into the room, so ceilings are shaped by zone: half-moon in water zones, a round dome at the Brahmasthan, a rectangle in South and West bedrooms, and never a triangle.
What it does
To balance the element of each zone through ceiling shape.
Where
Ceilings, zone by zone
How to do it
- 1In water-element zones on the North side, make a half-moon (ardh chandrakar) shape; a circular shape also works in the North
- 2At the Brahmasthan, make a round dome or circular shape
- 3In bedrooms in the South-West, West-South-West or South, make a rectangle
- 4Leave no hollow gap above the ceiling design
Cautions
- Do not make triangle, pentagon, octagon, flattened or T shapes
- A triangular ceiling creates fights, disputes, tension, anxiety and hyperacidity
- A triangle at the Brahmasthan brings fire there
- Irregular sun-like shapes are not good; the sun rises in the East, not at the centre
- Avoid a double-moon (full round) shape in the North-West
Explanation and notes
Royal palaces had round domes at the centre. Changing the shape alone can balance an element. Square and rectangle both represent the earth element.

Three Bases for Choosing Interior Colours: Kundali, Zone and Work
Interior colours are selected in three ways: from the kundali (the planets ruling education, business, wealth and luck), from the element of the zone (its own colour or a friendly element colour), and from the work done in the space.

Business Colours by Trade: Yellow, Red, White, Green, Black and Grey
Each trade has a supporting colour: yellow for every business, red for jewellery, chemicals, sweets and fire-related work, white for education, cloth and stationery, and green for health; black and grey only in small amounts.
Principle
Zone-wise Recommended and Forbidden Wall Colours
Each direction has colours that suit it and colours to avoid, based on the friendship and enmity of the planets ruling the zones.

Oil-based Lead Paint: Never Use Where People Sleep, Work or Study
Oil-based paint contains lead that is released into the air and breathed in, causing cough, cold, eye irritation and disease; water-based paint should be used instead.
