Vedha in Vastu Shastra

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.
