Did you know that according to Vastu Shastra, your home's front door is the entry way of vital life energy. That's why there are some carefully curated rules, to enhance the Prana that enters and circulates in your home.
Here are some of them :
Considered as the “archway to victory and progress in life”, the main door should face north, east or in the north-east direction. It must be constructed in a way to ensure that when you step out, you face the north, east or north-east direction.
If you can, avoid having the main door in the south, south-west, north-west, or south-east directions
Cleanliness must be maintained at all times at the entrance of your home. An unkept main door is considered a serious flaw according to Vastu and is something that will disturb the flow of positive energies.
Avoid placing a shoe rack or dustbin outside the main door.
There shouldn't be a bathroom near the main door.
Ensure the main entrance is well lit, and that there are no obstructions when one enters the home.
Avoid painting the main door black.
The main door to your home should be constructed with superior quality wood. It should tower above the other doors in your house, and look the most appealing.
Avoid placing a fountain, or any other decorative water-centric element, outside the main door.
Also avoid placing figurines, frames or images of wild animals near the main entrance of your home.
Place a beautiful name plate or other auspicious décor on your door.
These are just some of the basic rules of Vastu Shastra for the main door of your home. Though it may not always be possible to change the physical construction of the home, we can certainly make subtle changes to the things we can control. Doing so can help us harness the energy of the incredible Pranic force that helps us thrive and find peace in our homes.
