Vastu for Car Parking | Car Shed | Car Garage |

A car garage is best to be placed at Southwest if it's not possible then Southeast or Northwest. A car parked in the Northwest or Southeast is the best location for East Facing and North Facing homes. Southwest is the best for South and West facing homes.

Please note that there are some rules/condition that customarily governs behavior as per vastu shastra once you fixed these places for car parking.

There are many types of car garages. For example, Attached car garage to the home, Non attached car garage, inner car garage, external car garage etc.

Some families are maintaining limousine, particularly for them, the Southwest is suitable, where the biggest cars and not regular usage vehicles are best suitable or kept towards Southwest.

Some residents likes to maintain luxury cars, some are usually rounding outside and some are contentedly keeping the cars, permanently at the garage. If the garage is in the West of Northwest, there will be a lot of traveling. The car remains in the garage for a very short time.

A car parked in the Southeast requires minor repair work. The floor level of the garage should be sloping towards North or East direction. The Car Shed should not touch the main building as well as the compound wall at Southeast-east if the Garage was planned at Southeast.

The garage should not touch the Northwest-north wall if the garage was planned at Northwest. Somebody planning for Tandem garage, it may also be planned in the same chamber. If Tandem garage may be fixed in any other area other than the main garage, better to take one experts advice and then only fix the area to be constructed.

There should be a minimum space of 2 feet to 3 feet ( if it's not possible then atleast arrange sixteen inches space ) wide all around the garage. A person should be able to circumambulate it on foot without any hindrance. This gap will ensure free movement of light and air all around the living premises and garage.

Never park your car exactly in the northeast. Northeast is the entry point of heavenly forces. A car garage in the northeast will obstruct these forces. Parking in the northeast is suitable in the basement area only.

Southwest is full of tamas energy. The car will not come out of the garage from this direction. It may be out of order. Its components may get jammed with the passage of time.

Always park your car by keeping its face towards north or east. These are the cool directions. Your car’s engine will never get overheated provided it is in the front portion. Infrared rays coming from South direction and West direction may cause fire hazard if car is parked facing these directions.

The gate of the garage should be in the north or east direction. Its height should be less than the height of the main gate of the compound wall. The gate leaves should open fully without any hindrance.

White, yellow and other light colors are the best for painting the walls of your garage. No waste material or inflammable material should be stored in the garage.

The path in front of the garage should be all clear for the car’s movement. Portico for car parking. If you don’t have sufficient space for a garage; construct portico for parking the car. It can be constructed in the north or east of northeast in the plots facing north or east directions.

This portico should not touch the main building. Erect pillars independent from the main building with cantilever roof. Keep the face of your car towards the North or East direction. North facing car is auspicious for businessmen while East facing car is good for politicians, administrators and government officers. Other principles of car parking are same as described in the garage.

Can we park our car above the underground tank placed at Northeast corner of the house :

Now a days we don't have place to provide everything to our dream house as per vastu principles. The main entrance towards Northeast is good, car shed or car parking is good at Southwest part of the house.

Now coming to the point, we don't have such space to made a path to park car at Southwest. So we have to compromise based on our availability of area which we bought or having land. Many residents are placing the car parking at Northeast corner, and there may be water storage sump or well or bore may be planned for water sources.

Now how to deal with it.Simple, just place the car and forget the other issues. Very simple, or you particularly requires the answer then don't buy the car or don't dig the sump. Compromise on one thing or don't plan for two things.
