Vastu Shastra For Ancestors Photo: Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science that works to maintain positive energy in a home. Believe it or not, Vastu Shastra impacts every person who lives in the home. The purpose of Vastu Shastra is to promote the progress, happiness, peace, and health of the family members. Vastu Shastra also gives special consideration to the ancestors of the home. Many people, knowingly or unknowingly, place pictures of their ancestors in the bedroom or elsewhere, which is wrong according to Vastu. Placing pictures of ancestors in the wrong direction not only increases negative energy but also creates many problems. Therefore, it is important to know the correct direction and rules before placing pictures of ancestors.

In which direction should pictures of ancestors be placed?
According to renowned Vastu expert Pandit Manotpal Jha, the south direction is considered the most suitable for placing pictures of ancestors, as this direction is considered the direction of Yama. Placing pictures in the south direction pleases ancestors, showering their blessings on the family, and maintaining peace and stability in the home. According to religious beliefs, placing pictures of ancestors in the right direction reduces challenges in life and prevents negative energy from entering the home.
Where should pictures of ancestors not be placed?
Placing pictures of ancestors in the bedroom, prayer room, kitchen, courtyard, living room, or in the center of the house is considered inauspicious. This can increase tension, conflict, and mental instability in the home. Too many pictures of ancestors should also be avoided in the home; this increases the flow of negative energy and can lead to financial difficulties. Also, placing pictures in the wrong direction can cause Pitra Dosh.
Points to keep in mind:
The area around the pictures of ancestors should always be clean. Photographs of ancestors should not be placed with pictures of living people. This is considered inauspicious. Doing so creates obstacles in the lives of living people and hinders their progress.

Keep these directions in mind for happiness and peace.
According to Vastu, the ideal Vastu direction for the kitchen is northwest, and the bedroom should always be located in the southwest. Also, always remember to use light colors in the bedroom. This promotes good health and maintains positivity in life. For happiness and prosperity, the safe should always be placed in the north, as this direction is considered the direction of Goddess Lakshmi.
