Toilets are to be in the North-west of the sector. Avoid them in the centre of the building and the North-east of the building. When it has to be an attached toilet, let it be to the North-west of the concerned room.

Suppose you have separate bath cum toilets. These again can be in the north-west sector. The ancients had the excellent practice of having the toilets out of the main building to the corner of the plot in the north west sector. Added to this they kept these toilets totally clear of the main building. Even today there are many houses in India having their toilets outside the main building. However taking due note of the security problems of today as also the limitations of space, we can, if it is not possible to have it outside the building, have the toilet inside the building — in the north-west sector. The alternate place is the south-east, but avoid having the toilet either in the north-east or south-west.

As North-east (eashanya) is the junction of Kubera and Indra, it is said that toilet in the north-east will gradually weaken the finances and the general prosperity of the master of the house. Toilets in the south-west make the master indecisive and his health may suffer. Toilets in the centre of the building are also totally prohibited.
