Ishaana Kona is the place from where good ideas flow. If the pooja room is in the North-East direction and the face of the idol is towards North or East then the property of the house is certain. To gain knowledge, one should offer worship keeping his/her face northward and should sit near the northern wall and to gain economic prosperity one should keep one's face towards East side and should sit in the Eastern side of the room. Yoga and meditation should always be done in the open place and in the North-East direction. In (Ishaana Kona) North - East direction no bedroom should be located as there is a possibility of raise number of girls in the family. North-East direction represents the place of water. Fire and water are not friends. Therefore, it is advisable that the kitchen should not be located in the North-East direction. If there is a tank or well in North-East direction, it is all right or otherwise, as has been experienced, it would restrain peace and mutual love in the family. If the staircase is in the North-East, then a room should be constructed in South-East to lessen its ill-effects. 

The North-East corner is best for a study room. If the study room and place of worship room are nearby then it is considered most beneficial. Terrace should be in the North-East direction, it will be good for the owner and resident. In every plot more open space should be kept in North, East and North-East than in South and West. Entrance should be in the North-East and its height should be less than that of the main roof. The hot water is used while laundering the clothes, the South-East corner has been considered best for it but the flow of drains should be towards North-East. Balcony should be constructed in the North-East to achieve good health and wealth and if in the houses already constructed, the balcony is in South-West, it should be covered with glass or screens. Bathroom should be in the West and South directions and the flow of its drains should be towards North-East direction. Portable Washstand should be South or West facing. Exhausts fan can be fixed on North and East walls. Geysers should be placed in South-East direction since it is 'Agneya' corner and Geyser is associated with heat.

The northeast side of the land should be the lowest side. If the northeast side is at a higher elevation than other sides of the property, it is advisable to dig soil from that one side and use it to build up the other parts. The land should either slope down toward the north or east, but not toward the west or south. Land sloping north brings riches, sloping east brings good fortune, sloping south brings ruin and sloping west brings financial loss. It is promising if tall buildings or hills do not obstruct the north, northeast, and east sides of the land. Do not purchase land with such obstructions to those sides because the sun’s rays will be blocked. Having those same obstructions blocking the west or south sides, on the other hand, bring health and wealth and the light coming from the southwest is not positive. 

The sun’s rays traveling westward are considered harmful. Thus such obstructions block out harmful rays. For the same reason, a water source located on the southwest side of a building will cause the owner misery. Similarly, there should be a minimum number of doors and windows set into the southwest side of a building; the majority of windows should be set in the northeast side. The boundary walls around a property should be higher in the west and south and lower in the north and east. It is lucky if the plot has a river or a stream flowing through it on the northeast, or if there is a lake on the same side. It is not lucky if there is an electrical power supply or large electric pole on the northeast side of the plot. A telephone pole is not negative in the northeast, however. There should not be any valley, darkness in the land, or large pit around the land. If road runs alongside the property and ends at the northeast corner, that is also very good. If a road ends on any other parts of the property, however, that plot is usually not good. 

Land extending on the northeast side is very good. Extensions on any other side are inauspicious. Extensions of the northwest side will cause you to lose money and peace. If the land is cut in the corner this is not good. If possible the land to be filled in the missing corner should be purchased. If the land is cut short on the northeast side it is very bad and is not promising; do not purchase it; it is like a headless body means useless. Round, oval, and triangular plots should be avoided. The house should not be built in the shape of a diamond, with the corner facing north. L-shaped plots are also inauspicious and should not be purchased. It is good if the plot is narrower at the entrance and wider at its rear, but the opposite is not good. It is best that the well or water source is on the north or northeast side of the land, or if water comes from the municipality, it should enter from the northeast side. If a line is drawn from the southeast corner to the northeast corner, the well should be to the right or left of the line, not on it. 

The well should not be in the northwest or southeast corners, as this is unfavorable. It is especially inauspicious if the well is dug in the southwest corner. It is also inauspicious to have a well in the middle of a house. If there is to be a swimming pool, waterfalls, or fountains, they should be set to the north, east, or northeast. Gardens, plants, or the lawns should also be set to the north, east, or northeast. Plants should be less than 3 feet in height. Swings should be to the north or east, and should swing from east to west. No trees are suggested in the north, east or northeast direction. If people still want to grow plants here, then only opt for small plants. 

Balconies, verandahs and terraces should ideally be built on the north, northeast, or east sides of the house, not on the south or west sides. If a balcony is on the southwest side of a house, it should be covered and closed. Shoes can be removed and placed on the verandah; they should not be placed to the northeast direction. The door should be two-shuttered and should be located in the northeast, north, or west. Windows can be set on the east, north, or west walls. The walls should be painted white, sky blue, cream, or light green. The balcony should be on the north, east, or northeast side. The northwest corner should not be extended. If a plot is available in the southwest, west, or south sides, it should not be purchased, as it will cause misfortune and loss. If the northeast plot is available, then it is advisable to purchase it. It is best if the adjoining lot on the northeast side is at a lower elevation than the land already owned. 

The Ishaana Kona plays an important role and has important consequence in Vastushashtra. North East - Ishaana Kona is most fortunate place of Vaastu God and he himself administrates this direction.
