Where should the Pooja Room be, according to Vastu?
Vastu places the pooja room ideally in the North-East. East, North, and West are acceptable alternatives. Placing it in the South, South-West, South-East, North-West, and Center (Brahmasthan) is considered inauspicious.

Already built that way?
Shift the pooja room to the North-East; keep idols facing West (devotee facing East) and the space clean and clutter-free.
