- East-facing homes: Northeast or east (padas 3β5)
- South-facing homes: Pada 1 or 4 of the south wall β avoid pada 3
- West-facing homes: Northwest or west (padas 3β5)
Main Door Vastu Tips for Nepal
- The door should open inward (into the house) and rotate clockwise.
- Wood is the best material β teak or sal wood is preferred in Nepal.
- The door height should be taller than the width β ideally double-leaf for prosperity.
- Place an auspicious threshold (dehuri) with the Om symbol or Swastika.
- Avoid a main door directly opposite another door or the staircase.
- Ensure the entrance area is well-lit and clutter-free at all times.
What to Avoid at the Main Door
Never place a toilet, bathroom, or overhead beam directly above the main door. Avoid broken or squeaky hinges β they represent blocked energy. Do not keep shoes or dustbins in front of the main entrance.
