Definition

Bathing/washing as a placed activity: traditionally outside the home in India (more hygienic, better 'Vāstu hygiene'); indoors, the bath/shower water optimally drains toward the NE; the toilet not opposite the front door (prāṇa-loss). [MODERN — Svoboda; claimed-classical: vāstu hygiene].

Prāṇa relevance

Prāṇa-drainage risk: a toilet opposite the front door lets entering prāṇa 'flow right out again, down the gurgler' (pra-vastu-marma prana_circulation_avoidance patch). Otherwise not traced.
