Also known asdeepawalilakshmi poojadeepavali
When two flats are merged and the toilet falls at the new centre, do kilan separately for each flat: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other, so that the energy current moves along each set of nails and the two flats work as separate units.
The four corners of each of the two merged flats
A potli of purified, energised gomti chakra mixed with a little yellow mustard, made on a swayam siddh muhurta in red cloth for illness, yellow for business and white for studies. With a kesar swastik and a wish on every gomti chakra it becomes a jadoo ki potli (magic potli) that keeps fulfilling the wish.
Red: with the patient or tied to the bed; yellow: at the business place; white: on the study table or near the books; in the pocket for business meetings
The swastik is made on the bahi khata (account book); since accounts are now kept on computers, make it on whatever register remains, or on the laptop itself.

Design the main door like a face: two shutters as the nostrils, two small niches as the eyes, two jharokhas as the ears, an Om or swastik as the tilak, and the threshold and upper frame as the lips. Ancient texts say such decoration multiplies the power of the main door many times.
Main door and the wall around it
The old custom of circling a coconut on Dussehra, Diwali or Holi when the house is full of confusion and work is not getting done is a way of activating Bhrisha devta, whose samagri is coconut.
E7 (Bhrisha) pad
A swastik drawn with kesar on a whitewashed surface stays bright for 24 to 48 hours where the energy is good; if it fades or vanishes, the energy is disturbed or an outside negative influence (bahari hawa) is present.
Main door or any whitewashed wall; kitchen tiles can also be used
Artefacts of enemy elements kept together block success; a lamp lit in a bowl of water joins fire and water and is allowed only on Diwali.
Offices, reception areas and homes
The elephant represents Rahu, so elephant statues or hanging-elephant bandhanwar (toran) do not suit every home, especially where the family's Rahu is debilitated.
Doors, walls and any place where toran or statues are hung
The deity faces East first and North second, never South; the worshipper faces North for wealth, East for spiritual progress and South or West for tantra, and before a consecrated idol all directions become zero.
Home temple, puja room and festival puja
Dussehra and Diwali are the best muhurtas for kilan.
No, it is wrong. Seat the deity in the West facing East, and sit so that you look at the deity while your face is towards the North. The Lord's direction is what matters, just as the teacher's direction matters in a classroom.
The small niches were made for lamps; they are the eyes of the door, and lamps placed in them open its eyes. The jharokhas beside them are the ears. Lamps must be lit in the niches on festivals such as Diwali, Dussehra, Holi and Raksha Bandhan, and in royal houses they were lit daily; a house whose eyes stay open keeps a right watch over everyone. If a door, even one in a wrong place, is decorated like this with small desi cow ghee lamps in the niches, its defects do not apply.
