For depth at an entrance in the North, is one big mirror better, or will design pieces do?
Use one whole mirror on the North wall. Do not join small pieces of mirror for a design; that turns mangal (auspicious) into amangal.

Can a mirror be fitted on a wardrobe in the S, SSW, SW, WSW or West?
No. Wardrobe mirrors also belong on the North or East wall. Some say the North-West is also allowed because the mirror represents the water element and the Moon.
If the dressing room is in the SSW, can a mirror not be used there?
A dressing room has four walls, so fix the mirror on its North or East wall. If the wash basin is already in the South and its mirror must be there, fix a mirror of the same size on the North wall; the pit made in the South is matched by one opposite and the effect evens out.
A family with an N4 door has had only boys across generations. What can be done for a girl child?
N4, like N3 and W4, is a door that brings sons. Open an E2 door, which brings the birth of daughters. A home without a daughter is not a complete home.
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.
Can mirror films be used instead of mirrors?
No. The darpan is considered auspicious and is used even in pooja; do not replace it with plastic films.
For a cut, should the mirror be fixed on the inside or the outside of the wall?
Fix it on the inside of the wall of the part you want to extend; seen from inside, that portion looks bigger and is extended. Fixing it on the outer side makes that part look smaller, so the outer side is used only when a part must be reduced.
