Vastu Tips: Never throw hot water in the kitchen sink

In Hinduism and Vastu Shastra, the kitchen is considered to be very sacred and a source of energy. Goddess Annapurna is called the goddess of food and is considered to be especially revered in the kitchen. For this reason, some traditions and rules related to the kitchen are very important not only from a religious point of view, but also from a practical and environmental point of view.

Hot water should never be thrown in the kitchen drain. It holds a special place in Vastu and traditional beliefs. Its importance can be understood from two aspects. Let's know in detail.

Religious and Vastu point of view
Insult of Goddess LakshmiThe kitchen is considered to be the abode of Lakshmi and Annapurna. Throwing things like hot water or oil in the drain is considered to destroy the purity of this place, due to which it is believed that Lakshmi ji is unhappy and poverty can enter the house.

Negative energyVastu Shastra states that pouring hot objects directly into the drain generates negative energy, which can affect the peace and prosperity of the house.

Practical and scientific approach
Damage to the pipelinePouring hot water directly into the drains can weaken the plumbing of the drains, especially if they are made of PVC. This leads to leakage, blockage and other repair needs.

Grease accumulationWhen you pour hot water or oil into the drain, it can cool down and solidify in the pipe, causing the pipes to clog. This can also pose a threat to the cleanliness and health of the kitchen.

1-Pour hot water into the drain only after it cools down a bit.

2-Always keep the kitchen clean and tidy.

3-It is considered auspicious to light a lamp in the kitchen regularly.

4-It is advisable to keep the source of water (such as the sink) in the north-east direction of the kitchen and the fire (stove) in the south-east direction.
