Cautions
Explanation and notes
Example: a South-facing house keeps its gate in the South but opens the main door in the North at the back. Even with the gate on S4 and the main door on N4 (Bhallat), the full N4 results do not come. Effects: money problems, the defects of heen bahu dwar, and loss of happiness.
When the main door of the building and the boundary wall gate stand face to face in one line, the arrangement is utsang (sammukh) dwar, the best door coordination in any direction.
Coming out of the main door and reaching the boundary wall gate by moving clockwise forms purna bahu (complete arm) dwar, which completes the purpose of every outing.
Leaving the main door and reaching the boundary wall gate by moving anti-clockwise forms heen bahu dwar, which cuts the results of even a correctly placed door.
For an auspicious journey or an important meeting, leave the house and first move the vehicle clockwise, even if the road later turns the other way.
A main door on an auspicious pad still fails when the route to the gate is wrong, when there is any vedh in front, when the house faces a cremation ground, or when the door is out of plumb.
A house whose front faces a cremation ground does not give results even with correct facing and a correct door; most of the hard work drains away.
N4, E3 and W4 are the Mahalakshmi doors through which Lakshmi enters; a house with all three open sees a heavy flow of money and many sources of income.
On a full moon day, plaster the floor at the three Mahalakshmi door spots with desi cow dung and draw a rangoli with a small flower.
