Narration (Excerpt): " ... Based on our Hindu belief, the universe is split into three levels; the dominion of the Gods, the dwelling place of mankind, and the underworld of evil spirits and demons. (Bur, Bwah, and Swah)

So is the human body divided into head, body and feet... Each family compound follows this divine plan and spatial orientation: the family temple for the deified ancestors is the head - located northeast to honor the holy mountain in the north and Siva in the east, the living space are the body or torso - the kitchen to the south as Brahma is the god of fire, sleeping quarters with the beds facing north or east, and the back of the home are the feet - outside the walls.
