What the East means in Vastu

In Vastu Shastra, the East is the direction of the rising sun. It governs health, vitality and social connections, and benefits from morning light. Its element is air and its presiding deity is Indra.

Bathrooms and toilets carry water and waste out of the home, so Vastu places them where outflow is natural and keeps them away from sacred and stable zones.

Why a bathroom here is a concern

East governs health and vitality — a bathroom here can work against it.

Remedies without construction

  • Keep the door closed and the room well ventilated.

  • Use light, bright colors.

  • A small plant just outside the door (not inside, where humidity will harm it) is beneficial.
