Important Vastu Tips for Main Door:
1. Measure Directions Correctly:
Always take directions from the center of the house, not by assumption.
Wrong reference points can completely change the energy interpretation.
2. Use Swastik or Om Symbols:
Placing a Swastik or Om symbol near the main door cuts off negative vibrations and ensures a positive inflow of energy.
3. Avoid Deity Pictures on the Door:
Never place God pictures or idols on the main door in any direction.
Deities are meant to reside in your temple zone, not guard your entrance.
Conclusion
Your main door sets the tone for your home’s entire energy field. When you decorate it according to Vastu, with the right colors, symbols, and mindful placement, you welcome positivity, prosperity, and peace into your life.
