Prosperous Entrance

The vibrant festival of Tihar welcomes wealth goddess Laxmi and her blessing into the house. So, it’s the perfect moment to optimize your home’s entrance according to Vastu Shastra and scientific principles. Madhav Mangal Joshi presents a detailed guide t

Strategic Placement of the Entrance Door
For Level Land, begin by standing outside and locating the exact center of your plot. Place the entrance door on the right side of this central point for optimal energy flow. The northeast and northwest corners are highly recommended for door placement.

For Tilted Land, measure the tilt angle of your property carefully from the center of the plot. Position the door within the optimal angular range to benefit from both astrological and scientific perspectives. For a north-facing house, aim to place the door between 165 to 180 degrees from the center. For an east-facing house, the ideal range is between 75 to 90 degrees, and similarly, adjust for south (165 to 180 degrees) and west (255 to 270 degrees) orientations.

Ideal Placements Ideal Locations
 The northeast and northwest corners are most auspicious. The northeast corner channels life force energy, fostering health and harmony, while the northwest corner attracts geomagnetic energy that supports prosperity and stability.

Less Favorable Locations
Avoid placing the entrance in the southwest or south corners. These locations may cause energy to dissipate, leading to financial difficulties and emotional challenges, such as insecurity and fear.

Design Considerations for Positive Energy
• Ensure no obstructions like poles or trees block the entrance door, as they can impede energy flow.
• Upon opening the door, avoid facing a plain wall. Instead, enhance this area with images of deities, scenic views, or a mini water fountain to instill a sense of peace and welcome.
• Prefer two-shutter doors over single-shutter ones to facilitate a balanced flow of energy. The door should open inward to retain positive energy within the home.
• Embrace traditional practices like placing a brass pitcher (kalash) filled with water and adorned with marigolds or floating candles. This ritual harmonizes the Pancha Tattva, balancing elemental energies.

Additional Design Tips
• Conceal toilet doors visible from the entrance through thoughtful interior design.
• Avoid placing mirrors directly opposite the entrance to prevent energy from reflecting out.
• Ensure the door opens smoothly without creaking to maintain a harmonious energy frequency.
• Avoid having three doors visible simultaneously, which can be inauspicious. Use wind chimes or mirrors to mitigate any negative energy if necessary.
