Overhead water tank in NE zone
We all use overhead water tank and underground water tank to fulfil our daily needs of water. Thus, it finds an important place in vastu as well. Be it a residential space or commercial one, having the water tanks in the right place is essential.
In vastu shastra, the importance of Panchatatva elements in immense. These are 5 primordial elements of nature that constructs the universe; and it comprises of water, air, fire, earth and space. Since water tank holds water, it is common to assume that it represents water element.
But vastu principle does not work like that. While the underground water tanks are considered to represent water element, the same does not hold true for overhead water tank, which are considered as earth element.
You also need to know that there are 16 zones in vastu and each one also represents one of these elements. The northern zones (north of north west, north, north of north east and north east) represent water element. While the earth element is denoted by south west zone (and South of south west zone as well).
It is essential to place the any element in the respective zone to set balance of Panchatatva in vastu. Thus, obvious reasons, it is advised to place the overhead water tank in the south west zone. Though SSW is also representative of earth element, it is the zone of disposal and hence is best left unused for water tanks.
If south west zone is not available, then vastuvid permits its placement in the south and west zone as well. But it is strictly forbidden to use the northern zones, especially NE for overhead water tank. Let us learn of the consequences that arises due to it and ways to correct it effectively.
