3 questions on Five Elements (Panch Tatva) matching south-west
Does increasing the energy of the South-East or South-South-East raise the chance of theft, fire or accidents?
No, this idea is wrong and should be removed from the mind. An element's own zone can bear any amount of that element: kitchens burn daily in the South-East, factories run furnaces there day and night, and a plant in Goa melts quartz in its South-East without such problems; high mountains in the South-West only strengthen the earth element there.
The shape of the earth element was given as a square, so why is a rectangle advised in the South-West?
Both the square and the rectangle represent the earth element.
What is an indoor chabutra like?
A chabutra is a solid structure built as a cube, with equal length, width and height. There are 24 kinds for different purposes; the general one comes from swar vigyan and balances the five elements of the house. It stands for the earth element, which belongs to the South-West, and once the earth element is balanced it balances all the others more or less.
