VASTU SHASTRA GUIDELINES | ENTRANCE DOOR

UNCATEGORIZED Add comments

GLASS ENTRANCE DOOR

One enters the House, through the Main Entrance  Door from the front Verandah. Every time you enter your house you activate a presiding energy in relationship to the mandala of the house at that point. A door must be precisely located for the activation of most beneficial energy. As Vastu is a science, there is logical, scientific explanation for every guideline. As an Architect, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically.


ACCORDING TO VASTU SHASTRA, WHERE SHOULD THE MAIN DOOR BE LOCATED?

The main entrance door should be fixed on an auspicious day after performing Vastu Pooja. The Location of the Main door is also very important. To figure out where to place a main door, imagine that you are standing in front of the house and divide the front facade of the house into into two parts with an imaginary, middle, vertical line. The door should be placed towards the centre, either in the left or the right half, depending on the direction the  door faces.

North- facing door should be in the left half when facing the house, that is more towards the  North-East. Avoid placing a door in the right half (North-West). The Reason - Its preferable to have more openings in the North and East to allow the useful sunlight constantly, through the day. Since the door is opaque, it should be placed more to the centre of the wall and windows should be kept in the North-East.

The door should not be at the corner of the walls, but a few feet away from the corner junction. The Reason - Its preferable to have more window openings towards the North and East to allow constant sunlight through the day. Since the door is opaque, it should be placed away from the N-E corner, more to the centre.

West facing door: can be located in the left half when facing the house, that is  favouring the North-West. Avoid placing a door in the right half (South-West). The Reason - Its preferable to have more window openings towards the North to allow constant sunlight through the day. It is best to avoid openings in the South-West since the Sun is in the South and West at midday and in the afternoon.

If a house has a main entrance in the West it should have a corresponding door in the East also. The Reason -To allow maximum, useful UV rays found in the morning sunlight, into the house, since it is beneficial for health of the inamtes. (vitamin D synthesis)

South facing main door: must not be in the center of the building but should be  in the right half when facing the house, that is more towards the South-East. Avoid placing a door in the left half (South-West). The Reason – It is always preferrable to have few openings in the South-West as explained above, since the hot infra-red rays of the afternoon sunlight are projected, maximum towards this direction.

If a house has a main entrance in the South there should be one more corresponding to it in the North direction also. The Reason – To allow the constant light from the North into the house.

East facing door: can be located in the right half when facing the house, that is more to the North-East. Avoid placing a door in the left half (South-East). The Reason - Its preferable to have more openings in the North and East to allow the useful sunlight constantly, through the day. Since the door is opaque, it should be placed more to the centre of the wall and windows should be kept in the North-East.

Thus you can see in Vastu, there is no bad location for a main door. Its the pseudo vastu pundits who claim that South and West entrances are bad and the entrance door should only be in the North or East, because they take the Vastu Shastra guidelines too literally – Since Vastu recommends more open space in the North and East to enable the pleasant morning light and constant North light to permeate the house, it makes sense to have the entrance from either of these directions. But it’s not a hard and fast rule.

IN VASTU SHASTRA, ARE THERE ANY SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE MAIN DOOR?

main-doorAvoid the main door directly facing the main door of the opposite house. The Reason- It is quite uncomfortable when both the doors are open, as one unconsciously tends to look into the other house.

Avoid the main door directly facing an abandoned, rundown or dilapidated building: The Reason- It is quite disconcerting, every time you open the door to see an eerie looking building right in front of you.

The entrance gate and the main door should be on the same side: It is not considered good if the main door to the house is on the opposite side to the entrance of the property. The Reason- It doesn’t make sense to have the entrance on one side and then have the main door on the opposite side as guests and outsiders are forced to walk right across the length of the site, thus invading into the privacy of the inmates.

Avoid having an underground tank, septic tank under the main entrance: The Reason - In case the tank has to be opened or cleaned, it can be very inconvenient if it is right in front of the main door.

Avoid locating the main entrance door in the corners of the house: The Reason- If the door is in the extreme corner, it will be difficult to  have a neat furniture layout in the room, as the corner is used for movement.

Avoid locating a wall directly in front of the entrance door: There should be a door that opens to the next room in line of sight, opposite the main door. The Reason- The fresh air entering the house, every time you open the door, can flow into the rest of the house and finally go out through the exit. This allows the house to breathe properly.

It is preferable to have two doors, an entrance and an exit door: However, the exit door should be smaller than the entrance door. The Reason- The fresh air entering into the house through the entrance, will go out through the exit and thus be forced to pass through the rest of the house, thus allowing the house to breathe.

door3The main entrance door should be the largest door of the house: The Reason- A large main door looks inviting and allows big objects, like beds, to be brought in from outside without difficulty.

The main door should open inside and clockwise: The Reason- If the door swings open in a clockwise motion, you use your left hand to open the door for the guests, thus enabling you to guide them in with your right hand.

Avoid self-closing doors: The Reason- With self closing locks available nowadays, the doors can shut and close by themselves, but there is the risk that the door will close accidentally in the breeze while the keys are inside the house.

Avoid creaking doors: The Reason- Doors that creak indicate bad workmanship and that the door hinges are not well oiled.

The main door should have a threshold: Shoes should not be kept in front of the door, but to the side. The Reason- The shoes in front of the door can be an eyesore and cause you to stumble.

Auspicious signs on the door like ‘Om’ and “Swastika’: The Reason- When you or a guest stand in front of the door it is better to see some pleasant images instead of just a plain door.

Wood of Teak, Honne, Matti are good for the main door: Wood from Peepal, Coconut, trees giving flowers and fruits out of season, Thorny trees, Fragrant trees, etc should not be used. The Reason – Its important to protect useful trees that provide us with fruit etc.

The main door should have a threshold: The Reason - The threshold will deter ants and other pests from entering into the house.

    The information given by you is very nice but i have a doubt……….., i want to purchase a flat whose entrance is in south-west corner and in the ground floor. but they have given a private garder of sqft. which are facing towards north to the bedrooms. can i proceed for the deal? if you will let me know as soon as possible then i will be obilige………..

    Dear Mr/Ms Gyanamayee,
    Like I have always said, try to get a feel of the space that you want to purchase. If it is positive, then it is good for you. Everytime you go to the place, if you feel stronger and stronger in your resolve to buy it, then don’t hesitate. Good Vastu is all about how good you feel in a space. As far as a garden is concerned, there is nothing like it- you get a lot of fresh air, light and something refreshing and rejuvenating to look out to, every morning when you wake up. Its nice to have a garden near your bedrooms and to the north as it will allow a lot of light into your house. So I feel it is a good deal. Good luck!

    Hi,
    I appreciate the efforts you have taken to give scientific explanation to the Vastu sashtra. its very interesting to read this.
    I have a query:
    My main entrance door is located on teh South-east corner of my house, facing South.
    It is not as per the calculation you have provided ( 4th part from right or 6th part from left)

    Would there be any potential issues?

    KIndly advice
    thanks

    As regards Puja room,in an apartment NE corner is also good.But in what direction should the kitchen be in such an eventuality.
    I have been advised to shift the temple to the N,NE or E sector of my house.do I have to perform any rituals as I will be shifting the house deities to another location?

    Dear Mr Sunil,
    Normally when one shifts into a house, most people like to have a Vastu pooja, just to cleanse the space. During this pooja, the deities are housed in your mandir/pooja room by the priest and from then on, worshipped here. So if you plan to shift the deities to another space, you may want to have a small vastu pooja.
    A pooja room/mandir can be placed anywhere in a flat as long as it is not in the bedrooms or toilets. It should be placed such that you can see it everyday, is well lighted and you can spend a few minutes in meditation in front of it.

    i would like to rent in the house in Flats which has the west direction facing main door . But the road to the house is in East side and main entrance(i.e.gate) is in east side. Pls advise whether west side main door is good or not?.

    Dear Mr Moorthy,
    In apartments, the direction of the main door does not matter, since it opens into a lift/stair lobby. So you need not bother too much about the vastu. If you get a good vibe when you stand in the space, then obviously it is a good choice.

    wellyou have covered up all points in relation to vastu but apparently the replies are nothing to do with vastu… if u bother to read this mail further and wish to give a justified reason for this then please let me know why a semi circular door considered inauspicious?
    waiting for a reply
    Thanks
    Payal Periwal
    (budding)Interior designer

    Dear Ms Payal,
    I don’t see why a semi-circular door is considered inauspicious except for the fact that it is an expensive affair and results in a lot of wastage of wood- curved sections have to be carved out of big blocks of wood. Maybe from an ‘eco/green’ point of view, this is why it is discouraged.

    Recently we have taken flat which is north east facing and the maindoor is west facing.
    Is it fine?we were worried about the main door facing only as people say that west facing is not preferable.

    Dear Ms Rani,
    In any layout, town or city, there are sites facing all directions, so any entrance is okay. An east entrance is preferrable to a south or west entrance, only because the south and west sides are hot for most of the day and so every time the south/west facing door is opened there is a waft of hot air that permeates the house. But in an apartment this is not the case, since the main doors to individual apartments open from the lift/staircase lobby. So it is obvious that a door from any direction is fine.

    Is Entrance door with North -east direction preferable ? ie when you enter the house you face North east direction. and when you exit the house you face South-West direction.
    Dear Rajiv,
    Your entrance door faces South-West and not North_east, because South-West is the direction you face as you step out. But like I have always said, according to vastu, there is no bad direction.

    Hi.
    I am planning to buy a flat whose entrance is west facing, it is on top floor of building. There are galleries/windows on the north , east and west side of this flat so 3 side well ventilated.

    Also at west face at entrance there is a lobby wall, the lobby runs to south at far end lobby wall. Should we buy this flat as we feel this has a south west corner entrance.

    Also in the lobby there is wide opening windows towards east. The building is east facing and the plot having atleast 15 such buildings has entrance which is north facing. Also there is a fountain at the north part of this plot.

    Please guide us. Thanks in advance.

    Rita
    Dear Ms Rita,
    You have solved your doubt yourself! In my experience, I have seen that most of the time people have the right instinct about a problem. I say to all- go ahead act on your instinctive feeling and most times you will be right. Putting a nice picture on the blank wall will draw the attention of the guests and give out a nice vibe.

    Respected Sir,

    As Vastu prefers Door should open clockwise & main door should be 2 shutter then, How it is possible to have clockwise 2 shutter door( please specify which shutter should be larger). I would like to know whether Channel gates (sliding) on outside Main door for security purpose is OK, or if any other alternative please specify.

    Thanks in Advance,

    We are purchasing a flat which is in the east west direction. its door open in the east side. in front of the door there is lift. so can you please advise me, according to vastushastra whether a lift in front of the door is appropriate.

    please suggest
    DEar Riddhi,
    The only reason you must be concerned is because your door faces the lift and people coming in and out of the lift may look into your house and make you self conscious. So to prevent this, keep your front door closed.

    Dear Deepali,
    There is no bad direction in Vastu. all directions are good for a main door. For a south facing site, you obviously will have a door towards the South. So dont worry about your new purchase and enjoy it.

    hi

    my house main entrance door facing to south direction, and same pass thru to exiting backyard. could you please explain is any bad signs in it?

    thanks
    shiva
    Dear Shiva,
    Like I have stressed in my site, there is no bad direction according to Vastu. Of course the South was addressed as the direction of the dead and so the South direction has over the years aquired a negative tag. Vastu recommends that one should not sit or sleep facing south ( that is with head in the North) as the north pole of the body which is the head will repel the north pole of the Earth and cause tensions, disturbed sleep and stress in a person. So, to constantly remind people that they should avoid facing the South, the south was called the ‘direction of the dead’.
    So stop worrying about your door direction.

    Actually I doubt about northen entry…………..
    what it mean by northen entry?
    (!) If we draw a plan on paper and we write the east…west..north…south….and if we put door in the north and when we enter we will walk or enter to the south side OR…
    (2) Like above If we draw a plan on paper and we write the east…west..north…south…if we put a door in south and we will enter to the north…..

    If I can get proper answer please
    Hi Mr Hitesh Patel,
    I know, many people get confused with orientation. The easiest way to identify the direction of your house is as follows: You need to imagine that you are inside your house and you are opening your main door to face the outside. The direction that you face is said to be the direction of the entrance to your house.
    For example. when you open the main door to look outside and you face North, then your house is said to be North facing. But in such a house, when you enter the house from the outside you will be facing the South, but don’t get confused. The direction that you face when you open the door to look out, is the direction that is important, since the prana or energy enters from this direction.

    i bought i condo recently, the balcony is facing electric tower. Will this affect our health

    Ms Jeya,
    You haven’t made it clear whether it is a high-voltage transmission tower (pylon) or an electric pole. I believe that there are magnetic forces around high voltage transmission towers which may affect our bodies to some extent (the larger the tower, the more the effect). That is why according to vastu, it is generally not advisable to buy a plot near electric substations and transmission towers. However, ordinary electric poles are okay.
    In case you have a transmission tower very close to your balcony, then the best thing you can do is to avoid sitting there and keep the window and door to the balcony closed.

    Thank you.
    Ms Rakhee Bafna,
    I think you should feel thankful because as you step out of your house, you face a religious icon. Religious statues, objects are revered and worshipped because they emanate some kind of positive energy (at least that is what we are conditioned to believe). So absorb in that positivity and clear out all the negative doubts that clutter your mind!

    My husband and i stay in a rented flat which has the main door in south-west . The kitchen has platform in east of the house and north-east corner has sink. the toilet is in west ant bath is in south-west. I was advised that stayin in this house is not good, so we should change it immediately but that is not possible as we have an agreement for two years and cannot make major changes here in civil work as it is not our property. We have no problems here so far but are scared if it might create some in future thus want to have some solution to this situation. Please help. Thank you.

    Dear Khyati,
    I don’t see why you should shift out of this house. The only thing that could drive you out of this house is your own fear. I advise you to go through some of my posts on http://architectureideas.info/2008/08/vastu-explained-scientifically/. They may help you in understanding why certain directions are preferred. Please remember that there is no bad direction- otherwise it would be impossible to design a city/town as the houses will face all 4 directions.
    Fear of superstitions can hamper your judgement. So use science to help you!

    A very informative site, providing rational explanations for much of the superstitious beliefs.
    We have recently purchased a block of land, facing North-East in Australia. Vastu principles advocate that there should not be tall tress close to the house, but what is ‘close’? The Council has planted trees along the road, which is smang-bang in front of our block, but our main door is at least 9 metres from the tree (as the land is quite big and rectangle in shape). Is this OK? Also, our block faces a Forest Reserve that literally has hundreds of tall trees; however, the distance between the pool of trees and our house is at least 50 metres. Is this ok according to Vastu as well as scientifically (in terms of recieving healthy sun rays)?

    I would appreciate if you could respond.
    Hi Venkat,
    Thank you for the encouraging feedback. Tall trees block off the sunlight around them. If these trees are at a distance like in your case, then they do not affect the building. But if they are very close, say within 5 feet of the building, then they can prevent the useful sunlight from streaming in. Since the forest is more than 150 feet away, it doesn’t affect your house adversely. In fact you may be benefitted from the fresh air.

    I am planning to purchase a flat which has south facing entrance. Please let me know whether it is OK. Sometime back I had read in the newspaper that south facing door is suitable for people with Pushya Nakshatra and others. Does the entrance of the door also relate to the birth stars. I am trying to attach the sketch of the flat but is not happening. Do let me know earliest.

    Sir,

    I have main entrance on South West (West side) and the flat opens out on towards the left.

    I understand, South West is NOT a preferred direction for Main entrance. However, I have 4 windows (2 Bed rooms, 1 kitchen, 1 hall) in East. In fact, one of the bed room has North east window. Kitchen is facing East and gas connection is in South East.

    Master bed room is in North East.

    Also, there is large size window (french window) in east (of South East corner) which is facing main entry which is on West of south west corner.

    Is flat ok as per vastu ? Kindly also suggest remedy for main entry.

    Thanks and regards,
    Bhavesh

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot…this site gave really wonderful information. I like the idea that we should feel positive vibe.
    Before choosing a rented individual house I read a bit about entrance door and it seems south facing is not good. The house i was interested is south facing, so after reading a bit about vastu i didn’t get that positive feeling.

    Please help what i shoud do……
    Thanks in advance !!

The bed room lies in the north east corner so we want to shift it to the south west corner side but our main door opens there and since it is a flat purchased in a residential building we cannot change the main door. Kindly let me know some remedy. THANK YOU

    i want to take a west facing flat. But east /north facing flats will be good for me as per pandits.

    As thre is a already a door at north face, can we use the north entrance door instead of using west entrance . there is nearly 40 feet road is there infront of north entrance, where as for west side entrance has 6 feet corridor is there infront of the door

    Please be note that i am no doing any changes to the existing west entrance door, just want to use the northfacing entrance.. is it advisable as per vasthu, please suggest

    Dear Sir,

    First of all thanks in advance for allowing your precious time to advice us.

    Sir, we are planning to buy a 2BHK house in a multi storeyed building with entrance in the south of west (corner) and a window in front.
    Both the rooms, Kitchen and Hall are in the East so the house has windows in one direction only – that is East.
    Bedrooms are in the north east direction and hall in south east and kitchen in middle.

    The house has good vibes in general. But is there anything that we can do to improve the vaastu defects without making much structural changes. Looking for your advice as soon as possible.
