Main causes of poverty according to Vastu

• According to Vastu, having a kitchen in the southwest direction can hinder prosperity. Furthermore, leaving dirty utensils in the kitchen overnight invites poverty.
• You may also face problems due to shoes and slippers being scattered at the main entrance of the house.
• Dampness or cracks in the walls of the house or clocks that have been stopped for a long time also increase negative energy in the house.
