According to Vastu Shastra, the kitchen is not just a place for cooking but the heart of the home. A clean and well-organised kitchen, following Vastu rules, is believed to invite the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, ensuring happiness, prosperity, and harmony in the household. Conversely, a cluttered or unclean kitchen can increase negative energy, leading to financial problems and disputes among family members. Vastu experts suggest a few simple steps to maintain positivity in the kitchen. (News18 Telugu)
Salt Container Rules: Salt plays an important role in balancing energy in the kitchen. It is recommended to store salt in a glass container, as this is believed to attract positive energy. Storing salt in iron or other metal vessels is considered inauspicious and may bring financial difficulties. The salt container should never be empty, as emptiness is associated with poverty.

Salt Exchange Etiquette: When giving salt to neighbours, it should always be transferred using a vessel rather than by hand. Vastu also warns that taking salt from another household may invite poverty. Experts recommend filling the salt container on Fridays to remove negative energy from the house. (News18 Telugu)
Separate Storage for Salt, Sugar, and Chilli: Vastu advises that salt, sugar, and chilli should never be stored together. Keeping them in the same vessel or place can lead to disagreements and conflicts within the family. In particular, combining salt and sugar is said to invite financial hardship. Keeping these items separately promotes peace and harmony in the kitchen. (News18 Telugu)
The Importance of Turmeric: Turmeric is not just a culinary ingredient but a symbol of auspiciousness, prosperity, and peace. Like the salt container, the turmeric pot should never be empty. Placing a coin and three cloves in the turmeric pot is believed to bring good fortune. According to Vastu, turmeric represents the Guru, the coin symbolizes Goddess Lakshmi, and the cloves signify wealth. Together, they are said to ensure abundance and happiness in the home.
