Main door Vastu: Tips for placing the home entrance

According to Vastu Shastra, the main door of a house is not only the entry point for the family but also for energy. The best direction for placing the main door house entrance as per Vastu is the north, north-east, east, or west directions that are regarded auspicious and allow the flow of positive energies in the house.
“The main door is a transition zone, through which we enter the house, from the outer world. It is a place from where happiness and good luck enters the home,” says Mumbai-based Vastu consultant, Nitien Parmar. “Consequently, the main entrance has been accorded prime importance, as it lets in or keeps out the cosmic energy flow that promotes health, wealth and harmony. Moreover, the main door also creates the first impression of a house,” he points out.

“The main door should always be in the north, north-east, east, or west, as these directions are considered auspicious. Avoid having  Ganesha Multi-Panel Canvas  in the south, south-west, north-west (north side), or south-east (east side) directions. A door in the south or south-west, can be corrected by using a lead metal pyramid and lead helix. A door in the north-west can be corrected, with a brass pyramid and a brass helix, while a door in the south-east direction can be corrected, by using a copper helix,” suggests Parmar.

A clean house, especially the main door entrance, attracts positive energy. Avoid keeping dustbins, broken chairs or stools, near the main door. The main door of house should always have a threshold, (marble or wood), as it is believed that it absorbs negative vibes and allows only positive energy to pass through. As per Vastu Shastra for house entrance, to keep evil things away and repel negative energy from entering the house, one can also hang a black horse shoe at the entrance door. Decorate the main door with divine symbols like Om, swastika, cross, etc., and put rangolis on the floor, as they are considered auspicious and invite good fortune.

A main door of house in the north direction should have more silver colour and if your main door entrance is in the east, it should be made of wood and decorated with limited metal accessories.
