According to Vastu, igneous angle (southeast direction) is considered to be the best for the kitchen. It is the corner of the fire element and is the most auspicious for the kitchen. If not possible in this direction, the north-west (aerial angle) can also be an option, but give priority to the southeast. Avoid building a kitchen in the north-east (northeast) and south-west (south) direction, as it can cause severe architectural defects.
