Entrance gate of the house is the most important element not to be ignored in house vastu. Main entrance to a house is not only the entry point for the people, but also for the cosmic energy. Hence, the correct positioning of the main gate according to the vastu principles creates harmony between the house and the universe.

 

 

This Article Will Explain The Following Things:

 

1- Finding The Main Entrance Location

2- Main Entrance Effects – EAST

3- Main Entrance Effects – SOUTH

4- Main Entrance Effects – WEST

5- Main Entrance Effects – NORTH

 

Finding The Main Entrance Location:

 

There are 32 possible entrances according to vastu shastra. After dividing a circle of 360°, you will get 32 entrances each covering 11.25°. Every cardinal direction (North, East, South, and West) is divided into 8 possible entrances. For instance, 8 entrances for North (N1 to N8), 8 entrances for East (E1 to E8), 8 entrances for South (S1 to S8), 8 entrances for West (W1 to W8).

Each entrance creates its own effect but only few of them offers positive results to the occupants of the house. As you can see in the picture given below, we have highlighted the most beneficial gates in green color. 

 

Therefore, we have to mark all the 32 entrances on your map in order to decide the best entrance of your house. Follow these steps to find out the perfect entrance of your house:

 

• Firstly, mark the center point of your house on the map.
• Determine the exact north point of your house using compass.
• Draw a line from the center to the North point of the house.

• After drawing a line from center to the north, now draw another line at 11.25° clockwise from the Northern point. It will be called N5. Now, at the regular interval of 11.25°, draw rest of the lines clockwise and mark them as N6, N7, N8, E1, E2 and so on.

 

This is how you can mark all the 32 entrances on your map and thereafter you will be able to choose the best possible entrance for your house. 

 

Main Entrance Effects – EAST

 

There are a total of 8 possible entrances in the East direction from E₁ to E₈. Two of these 8 locations are auspicious for the construction of the main gate. The auspicious gates in the East are known as E₃ (Jayant) and E₄ (Indra).   

 

 

E₁ [Shikhi] _–

This is the first Pada of East direction which is also known as Shikhi. The main entrance in this pada causes fire, accidents and gives financial losses.
