Placement of Owner’s Picture in Vastu and Feng Shui
Photographs and portraits are not just decorative items — in Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui, they carry the energy and aura of the person they represent. Placing the homeowner’s picture in the right direction is believed to enhance their authority, luck, harmony and success. Incorrect placement, however, may lead to instability, misunderstandings, and loss of respect.
Ideal Placement (Vastu Guidelines)
South-West Direction (Nairutya)
Considered the corner of stability, control and longevity. Placing the owner’s photo here brings firmness in relationships, strength in decision-making and authority over the property.
West Wall (Fame Area)
Good for professional and social recognition. Portraits here enhance goodwill, name and fame.
Facing East
The picture should preferably face the East, invoking growth, clarity and new opportunities for the owner.
Avoid:
North-East for owner’s portrait (reserved for deities and puja)
South-East (may cause ego clashes or temper issues)
Bedroom walls opposite the bed as it may disturb mental peace
Feng Shui Placement Tips
Behind Work Desk or Chair
Keeps the owner "supported" and in power. Symbolically nobody can backstab them if their own photo occupies that space.
Entrance Foyer (Facing Inward)
The photo facing inside the home/office welcomes prosperity and safeguards the house. Ensure it does not directly face a bathroom or main door exit.
South Sector (Fame & Recognition Corner)
Enhances social standing, respect, and attracts fruitful opportunities.
Avoid:
Owner’s picture in North sector with water elements → could lead to emotional ups and downs
On doors/windows, as it indicates instability and movement away from home
General Vastu & Feng Shui Tips for Owner’s Picture
Use solo portraits for authority, not group photos
The picture frame should be in wood or metal (avoid broken or chipped frames)
Keep the image clean, dust-free, and always smiling or confident – never sad or dull
Replace outdated or damaged photos to avoid stagnant luck
Keep portraits at eye level, not too high or too low
