Vedha in Vastu Shastra for Main Gate
Obstructions
in front of the main gate: Several
types of obstructions before the main gate must be avoided as they give rise to
the following problems :
Big
Tree - Obstruction to the progress of children,
Gutter
or Ditch - Grief,
Open
well - Mental problem,
Corner
of another building - Mental unrest,
Water
drain - Draining of income by unwanted expenses,
Straight
street - Affecting longivity of inmates,
Dilapidated
house or walls - Affecting prosperity,
Staircase
railings - Sadness,
Pillars;
Electric and telephone post - Affecting females.
These are called Vedha
Doshas. But in between the plot and obstacles if there is a public road,
these deficiencies are nullified.
Similarly, if the distance
between the obstacles and the house is two times the height of the house, these
deficiencies will have no effect. For example, if the height of the house is 11
feet and if the obstructions are more than 22 feet away, Vedh Dosha does not
occur.
Other rules
The main door of the house
should be larger than the other doors entering the house.
The main door should have
two shutters and open to the inside of the building. Teak is a good material
for the entrance door.
It is best that a house has
two entrances. The exit door should be smaller than the entrance, and it should
have only one shutter. If there are two external doors for the house, they
should not be set in a straight line.
The main door should not be
situated across from the main door of another house. The entrance doors of two
houses should not be exactly opposing one another. Neither should two houses
share a common entrance.
If the entrance of the
house is to the south, there should not be a balcony or verandah in front of
the door.
It is good to set gates to
both the property and the entrance to the house on the north or east sides. It
is also all right to have the main door on the west wall. It is not advised to
have the main entrance on the south side.
It is considered auspicious
if the entrance to the property and the main door of the house are on the same
side. It is not considered good if the main door to the house is on the
opposite side to the entrance of the property.
There should not be an
underground tank, septic tank, or canal under the main entrance. There should
not be any abandoned, wrecked buildings in front of the main entrance.
It is good to decorate a
house’s entrance with pictures or statues of Laksmi, Ganesh or Kubera and
auspicious signs such as OM or the Swastika.
Inauspicious pictures
should not be on the door.
Doors should have
threshold.
Shoes should not be kept in
front of the door, but to the side.
The door should not be
slanted, sliding, or circular.
