The best side to study depends on the context. There's no single "best" side universally applicable. We can break this down into two interpretations:
1. Best Direction to Face While Studying:
According to Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian system of architecture, the best directions to face while studying are north and east. These directions are believed to improve memory and focus. Multiple sources support this, emphasizing the benefits of facing north for concentration and avoiding fatigue (Times of India). Other sources suggest the east (Quora), or even the west or southwest for the study table placement (Nobroker). For arts students, facing east is recommended (Magicbricks). The optimal direction may vary based on individual beliefs and preferences.
- North: Improves concentration and reduces fatigue.
- East: Traditionally recommended in various cultures.
- West or Southwest: Recommended for study table placement according to some Vastu interpretations.
It is important to note that these are based on Vastu Shastra principles and may not be supported by scientific evidence.
2. Best Side for Artistic Study (e.g., Copying an Image):
In the context of artistic study, such as copying a painting, the "best side" refers to the positioning of the original versus the copy. One Reddit post shows an example where the original is on the left and the copy on the right (Reddit). There is no inherent "best" side; the arrangement depends on personal preference and comfort.
