The North-West toilet has been built about two feet higher than the rest of the house; does this create a dosh?

When a toilet and bathroom are built in the visarjan (disposal) zone, their floor is often raised or sunk to keep water from flowing out. What is correct?

Anything placed on the ground should be at water level, and the floor of the whole house should stay the same. Give the toilet and bathroom floor its slope toward the North-East; water draining toward the South-West is very troublesome.

Can a mirror be fitted on a wardrobe in the S, SSW, SW, WSW or West?

No. Wardrobe mirrors also belong on the North or East wall. Some say the North-West is also allowed because the mirror represents the water element and the Moon.

Can plants be kept in the West, North-West and South-West?

Certainly. Drop the idea that there should be no greenery in the North-West or South-West; gardens and resorts everywhere have greenery on all sides. A vastu expert should never get a tree cut, because its dosh falls on him; plant auspicious trees near it instead.

How should a 4-inch sewer drain pipe running through the centre be judged?

The underground drainage line should run from the South-West towards the North-West, that is clockwise, and leave the plot at the North-West; that is good.

In a house with uneven levels, how can we tell whether the South-West is low-lying?

Check with a water level (spirit level) or a contour map, or simply pour a bucket of water on the floor: the direction in which it flows is the direction of the slope.

Is an overhead tank right in NNW, and should it be in the South-West or the North-West?

Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.
