This year, *Nautapa* will start from 25th May and will continue till 2nd June. These days are considered the hottest days of the year. It is said that during *Nautapa*, the sun radiates its most intense heat, due to which the earth becomes scorched. During these hot days, donating water, seasonal fruits or cooling things is considered very auspicious. According to *Vastu Shastra*, there is a very easy solution related to *Nautapa* which can help people to overcome financial difficulties.

In *Vastu Shastra*, the north-east direction of the house (known as Ishaan Kon) or north direction is considered to be the direction of water. This direction is also considered to be the area of Lord Kuber, the god of wealth. Therefore, during *Nautapa*, keeping an earthen pot filled with water in this particular direction keeps the energy inside the house balanced. This solution will not only quench your thirst in summer, but will also benefit you financially. It is believed that in houses where an earthen pot filled with water is kept in the north-east or north direction, there is never any shortage of money.

However, keeping something special related to water can increase the auspicious effects.
