Shiva Om Dear Friends,

This is indeed a tricky situation. In the question no clarity has been provided if the bathroom is meant only for purely bathing purpose or also has a Commode/ Orissa Pan ( Indian Style Latrine ). Nevertheless, in both the scenarios one is not permitted to have a Pooja room or a Mandir below them. A false ceiling is no answer or solution to this vexing issue.

You will simply need to shift the place of the Pooja from below the bathroom. There are some other gimmicks followed by some Vastu Shastra consultants like placing or application of some copper wires or sheets in the ceiling or affixing some Pyramids in the ceiling, etc.

Kindly do not fall prey to any such foolhardiness. These are all no means in which this problem can be treated. You have to take a bold step and that is to simply shift the Pooja place to some other Vastu appropriate direction. This is a serious Vastu error and any amount of Vastu rectification does not resolve this problem. One has to simply accept this fact and as mentioned earlier shift the Pooja room at the earliest.

I earnestly hope that this Blog has given ample clarity in this matter to my esteemed reader.

Shivam Kalyanam.
