General
Guidelines For Living Room
*
The fancy
chandelier should not be at the center of the room. It
should be slightly towards the west. The idea is that
heavy gravitational force due to the heavy weight of the
chandelier should not fall at Bramha’s place.
*
Portraits
of birds, animals, women, weeping children, scenes from
the wars etc. should not be displayed in the room.
*
It is
better if the portraits of God or water falls are hung
in the northeast corner. Stuffed animals should be in
the northwest corner.
*
Due to
paucity of land, if the furniture is to be kept in the
east or in the north direction, it should not be in direct
contact with the flooring. It should be light and hollow
and placed on base 1 to 3 inches above the floor.
*
Furniture
of this room should not be circular, triangular, egg shaped,
hexagonal or odd shapes. It should be square or rectangular.
*
In the
modern architecture the height of the living room is more
up to double than that of the other rooms. There is no
harm in doing so. However, the staircase should be in
the south, the west or the southwest corner of the room.
It should be rising up towards the south or the west direction.
*
Above
any of the entrance doors on the inside of the room no
photographs of any God should be displayed. Only the photograph
or tile painting of the Lord Ganesh should be displayed
above the entrance door on the outside.
*
There
should be no outlet in the middle of the room.
*
The cooler
should be in the west and not in the southeast section.
