Energy keeps entering through the main door every moment, and at night spirits, devas and angels also move about and enter the house; if they find feet pointing at them they take it as disrespect, as if being kicked, and the sleeper suffers ill effects. The rule dates from when large families made some children sleep in the main door hall. For the same reason never point the feet towards the temple or God, a cow, religious books or the tijori where Lakshmi resides.
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.
