Most of us must have been advised against about buying a South facing home by someone who knows a little about Vastu Shastra. However the Truth is Vastu Shastra doesn’t recommend any direction over the other. As per Vastu Shastra all directions are good and auspicious as long as Vatu principles are applied. Here are the tips for a South facing plot or home.

1. Main Entrance must be as per Vastu Shastra. Under no circumstances it should be towards Southwest corner of the house. If we divide the length of the south direction in 9 equal parts(padas) , 3^rd and 4^th part(pada) from Southeast corner are considered best for entrance. Check Vastu Tips for Main entrance door.
