When a person has no money and cannot demolish or install anything, a simple number yantra written on the wall with kesar using a pomegranate (anar) twig pen balances the element of that zone, and the work starts running.
When there is too much lying in the house, draw a kesar swastik on a banyan leaf in an auspicious muhurta during chandra swar and place it at the Satya devta pad.
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
Writing the name of an enemy, or of anyone you want as a friend, with kesar on one gomti chakra and keeping it in your pocket turns that person friendly.
Five gomti chakra, or a number matching your mulank, each marked with a kesar swastik, are kept in the tijori. In a locker, at least 25 g of yellow mustard can be kept along with at least five or seven gomti chakra.

Peacock feathers contain mercury, and no negativity survives where mercury is; a framed swastik made of sorted peacock feathers placed in the West fulfils wishes, removes vastu dosh and brings success in work and in children's education.
A ghee diya with white, red and yellow wicks pointing to the four directions is lit on a water-filled earthen ghat in the North-East, over a mantra written in kesar; a wick that goes out before the ghee ends points to the direction holding a defect.
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
Shikhi, also called Shiva, is the first outer devta of the pishach bhoomi, at E1 near the North-East corner. A mahayogi and a highly sensitive maha-dowser, its pad reacts at once to anything done there; it governs vision, foresight and decisions.

Jayant, the third devta of the East (pad E3, in the outer paishachik ring), is the success-maker who completes any work by any means (saam, daam, dand, bhed) while following dharma, and converts knowledge into wealth. Its door is called the vipul sampada (abundant wealth) door because the grace of the Moon on this pad is very strong.

Satya, the sixth devta of the East, is the son of Dharma and stands for truth, goodwill and justice; like a village panchayat whose members speak the truth, it gives fair decisions. Balanced, it makes a person a good judge and advisor; imbalanced, lies spread through the house and honour is lost.
