The main objective of Vastu Shastra is to foster living spaces which are harmonious. The main door or entrance is one of the most important aspects as it is the first point of contact between the building and the outer environment. The direction of the main door plays a significant role.

According to prevalent Vastu principles, the ideal direction for the main door is in the East, North, or North-East.

These directions are believed to allow the inflow of positive energy and cosmic vibrations into the house. However it is a myth because the entire East, North or North-East is not favorable and certain portions in the south and West Directions are extremely beneficial.

In fact, in my observation, a lot of homes by billionaires around the world are south facing but their entrance door is in a particular section of the South Direction which makes them extremely influential and powerful.

To harness the potential of your main door irrespective of the direction, follow these tips:

● Use the elemental balancing technique if your main door is not on a positive point. Each direction - North, South, East and West has favourable entry points. MahaVastu philosophy advocates simple yet effective techniques using colored tapes and metal strips to enhance the entrance effects.

● Ensure that there is no clutter. A clear pathway leading to the entrance allows for the smooth flow of positive energy. Avoid placing any large objects, plants, or obstacles directly in front of the main door, as they can hinder the entry of positive energy.

● The materials used for the main door also have significance in Vastu. Wooden doors are considered auspicious, as they are believed to have a positive impact especially in the East and South direction. Additionally, choose colors wisely – opt for calming and positive colors such as light shades of green, blue, or white, as they are thought to attract positive energy. Avoid using Red or Maroon on entrances that are in East or North. Likewise, avoid using black or big mirrors on an entrance in the South direction.

● Use auspicious symbols, such as religious symbols or decorative elements, to enhance positive energy. Ensure that the symbols are chosen very wisely as each painting or artwork has a huge impact on the subconscious mind of the occupants. These guidelines rooted in ancient traditions will definitely help you to experience a sense of balance and well-being in your living space
