How is a boring in the North, NNE and North-East?
Borings in the North, NNE, NE and ENE are very good, and the North-East is the best. Never bore exactly on the North-East diagonal corner, the seat of Shikhi devta.
In which direction exactly should the picture for Shikhi or Parjanya be put?
A devta does not own one wall; it is an 11.25-degree sector. Shikhi and Parjanya face East, so put the picture within that sector, facing East; when a student asked, West-facing was also accepted.

Yes, books can be kept in the North, NNE or NE.
Can doors be opened anywhere by vastu, or must the birth chart be checked?
Check the birth chart. If the Sun in the chart is debilitated and you forcibly open an E3 or E4 door, it will be wrong and not appropriate at all.
Does the coconut kalash for Parjanya work when kept outside a door at E2?
Yes. In a flat seen on a recent visit, whose door is exactly at E2 (Parjanya), the resident keeps a water-filled kalash with a coconut on it outside the door and changes the water daily; the coconut has grown into a large plant, and the resident reported very good results for ten years without needing any planetary remedies. This is exactly the remedy prescribed for Parjanya.
How can one test whether Parjanya devta is imbalanced, for example when factory machines keep breaking down?
Burn a little peeli sarson at Parjanya's place: if it bursts out in sharp sparks that touch the body, Parjanya is upset or imbalanced, which is why the machines there break down and do not give production. If the trees of the house do not reach their proper height or bear good fruit, Parjanya is displeased. Parjanya is active when a little original chandan applied there spreads its fragrance through the whole house and the residents' wishes come true.
