Direction
Of Placement
*
The height
of the Verandah should be a little less than the other rooms.
Verandah should not be to the south or the west sides of the
main building. No corner of the Verandah should be oblique
cut or of round shape.
*
It is beneficial
to have a Verandah to the east or the north side of the main
structure. Because of this Verandah, evil forces do not enter
the house at once. Shoes etc. can be removed here before we
enter the main building. The holiness and the cleanliness
of the structure is maintained.
*
The sitting
arrangement in the Verandah should be in the south or the
west part of the Verandah. If there is a swing in the Verandah,
it should be in the east-west.
*
If the Verandah
has a roof, the height should be less than that of the root
of the main building. If the roof is slanting in the east
or the north direction, it is auspicious. Roof should not
be made of tin as far as possible.
General
Guidelines For Verandah
*
Stone, mortar
or the grindstone should not be kept in the Verandah. The
Verandah should have maximum number of windows and free
ventilation.
*
Flower pots
in the Verandah should be of small size. Flower pots with
creepers should not be kept in the Verandah.
*
A photograph of the lord Ganesh
or the lord Shankar in the Verandah is auspicious.
