If doors are already open on wrong padas, how are they treated in interior vastu?
Vedic vastu says the defects of a wrongly placed door can be removed through the decoration of the door itself: auspicious symbols, yantras, paintings and artworks made on the door, door power at the threshold, and a bandhanwar (toran) hung on it. This class therefore treats wrong doors with symbols, torans, bandhanwars and colours rather than structural changes.

My main door is in the South; how should it be treated?
In interior vastu a wrong door is treated only with symbols and similar items, since the full door treatment alone would take about five classes. For South door defects the class gives bandhanwars of stone or gems, a toran of copper and wood, and a red triangular swastik bandhanwar hung on a Saturday or Tuesday. In the South only S4 is a good pada, and it suits those with Kark, Makar or Kanya rashi, mulank 9, or an exalted or own-sign Mars.
The main door has a single shutter and a double shutter is not possible. What should be done?
Correct it with a painting, door power, door decoration (door sajja) or a door bandhan hung outside. Where the door has one shutter, keep a bandhanwar always hung on it and the dosh is not counted.
Our small house has an iron door outside and a wooden door inside. Which is the main door, and what if the inner door is on a wrong pada?
The wooden door is the main door. Iron is acceptable in the West, and an iron door in the boundary wall is acceptable. If the inner main door is on an unfavourable pada, correct it with the direction-wise bandhanwars and symbols taught in this class plus some door power. Moving it to S4 suits only if the male head of the house has Kark, Makar or Kanya rashi, because Vedic vastu judges this from the male head of the house alone, not from anyone else such as the wife.
Should the gomti chakra swastik plate be fixed inside the wall, or can it hang outside where people see it?
It need not be hidden. The swastik is the most energetic symbol, and you already hang curtains and many other things that people see. Hang it or stick it as the space allows; if you keep worrying about what people will say, it will not give results.
Which toran should a vastu consultant (vastuvid) hang?
The teacher left it to the students; their suggestions, a mango leaf swastik toran and a toran of cow-dung cakes, were both called correct. He then gave his best (Kohinoor) bandhanwar for any wrongly placed door: make round discs of desi cow dung, draw a swastik on each, fix them on a bandhanwar strip and hang it on the main door, and the defects end. The alternative, a daily desi cow-dung lepan in front of the main door with a rangoli in the colour of its zone, is hard to keep up every day, so the permanent bandhanwar is better.
A relative's flat had its door at E1. After buying the adjoining flat and removing the common wall the entrance came onto N4, and soon their ancestral land was acquired for a bullet-train project and they received crores. Is this the N4 effect?
Yes, this is chhappar phaad wealth, which comes as soon as N4 opens. E3, N4 and W4 are the three vipul sampada dwar (abundant-wealth doors). Opening them virtually gives perhaps 1 percent of the actual result, so do not believe the heavy promotion of virtual doors; it is the actual opening that brings the result.
