In Vastu Shastra, every direction and corner of a home holds special significance. It is believed that the objects kept within a house influence both positive and negative energy. For this reason, Vastu Shastra outlines specific guidelines—including rules regarding where various items should be placed throughout the home.

One such area concerns the placement of objects or empty vessels. Vastu Shastra offers several insights into keeping empty containers at home; according to its principles, placing empty vessels in certain areas can be a sign of financial hardship or other difficulties. Let us look at where you should strictly avoid keeping empty vessels.

Do not keep empty vessels in the 'Brahma Sthan' (central zone)
In Vastu Shastra, you should never place an empty vessel in the 'Brahma Sthan'—the central point of the house. It is advised to avoid keeping empty containers, clutter, or unnecessary items in this area, as doing so can disrupt the energy balance of the home.

It is believed that placing heavy or useless objects in the Brahma Sthan can hinder the progress of family members and lead to financial challenges.

Do not keep empty vessels in the North direction.
According to Vastu Shastra, the North direction is associated with Kubera, the deity of wealth, and is linked to financial growth and prosperity. Therefore, it is advised to avoid storing unnecessary items, clutter, or vessels that have remained empty for a long time in this direction.

It is believed that this can negatively affect the home's positive energy and create obstacles to financial progress. Furthermore, keeping an empty vessel in this area can cause negative energy to accumulate within it.

Do not keep empty vessels in the 'Puja Ghar' (prayer room)
The prayer room (or space dedicated to worship) should be kept sacred and clean. You should, under no circumstances, place empty vessels in this area. You should not leave empty ritual vessels or other utensils lying around for long periods after they have been used for worship.

Do not keep empty vessels near the main entrance.
The main entrance of a house is considered the point of entry for energy. You should avoid keeping empty vessels or unnecessary items near it. Doing so makes the entrance appear cluttered and invites negative energy.

To ensure that positive energy is maintained, you should never—under any circumstances—leave empty vessels in these areas of your home.
