“Traditional Placement Meets Modern Hygiene”

Dr. Nishigandha Chaudhari
•
Founder & Director, ANUKUL Health & Vastu Clinic

Bathrooms are often discussed negatively in Vastu.

ANUKUL prefers a different approach.

A bathroom is a necessary and important part of modern sanitation.


The real questions are

diamond
Is it hygienic?

diamond
Is it ventilated?

diamond
Is it dry?

diamond
Is drainage effective?

diamond
Is it safe?

diamond
Is it accessible?

diamond
Is it properly waterproofed?

Traditional Vastu

Traditional Vastu discusses directions and locations for toilets and bathrooms.

These principles can be considered during planning.

But existing homes should not be frightened into unnecessary demolition.

Moisture Matters

Persistent dampness can encourage mould growth and create indoor environmental problems.


Therefore

Waterproofing + ventilation + drainage + maintenance

are essential.

A bathroom should be assessed first as a sanitation and safety space, and then through traditional Vastu principles.

Personalized Spatial Evaluation
