2. If it is not possible to build a kitchen in the southeast direction, then we can build the kitchen in these directions: south-southeast, east-southeast, east, west and south.

5. All other gadgets like the mixer-grinder and flour mill should be kept in the northwest direction for better usage.

8. Avoid making your kitchen sink next to the stove burner on the same slab. Otherwise, there would be an imbalance of energies and disharmony in the household because the water element is placed next to the fire. If it has already been made that way, then make a partition between the two by building a wall of marble or granite.
9. The water source and wash basin or sink should be made in the northeast direction, going towards the north or in the west direction in the Kitchen.
10. Avoid making drainage in the south direction as it disrupts the natural flow of energy and creates imbalances by draining away wealth and financial resources.
11. A very important point to keep in mind during the construction of the house is to ensure that the kitchen should not be built above or below the pooja room, bedroom or bathroom.
12. Avoid buying a house where the kitchen is in the north direction. This will lead to unnecessary expenses and cause damage to the family members.
13. Avoid buying a house where the kitchen is in the northeast direction as it is harmful to the son of the house and also results in increased food expenditure and unnecessary food wastage.
14. Avoid buying a house where the kitchen is in the Brahmasthan ( Centre of the House). This can cause health-related problems for family members.
