Cautions
Explanation and notes
Full (100%) results come when the doors are on N3, N4 or N5; on N6, N7 or N8 they give only about 20%, which is still worth having. When a good pad is not possible (for example both doors on N6, on E6 or on a South pad), at least make the doors face each other. In industries, give facing doors even if three doors come in one line. A gate within one pad (11.25 degrees) of the main door, such as main door on N4 and gate on the N4-N5 junction, still counts as utsang dwar. Case: a house with its main door in the North had an underground water tank right at the door step and got no results.
Coming out of the main door and reaching the boundary wall gate by moving clockwise forms purna bahu (complete arm) dwar, which completes the purpose of every outing.
Leaving the main door and reaching the boundary wall gate by moving anti-clockwise forms heen bahu dwar, which cuts the results of even a correctly placed door.
When the boundary gate is on one side but the main door is opened at the back, so that one walks around the whole house to enter, the arrangement is prishth bhang dwar and gives no results.
For an auspicious journey or an important meeting, leave the house and first move the vehicle clockwise, even if the road later turns the other way.
A main door on an auspicious pad still fails when the route to the gate is wrong, when there is any vedh in front, when the house faces a cremation ground, or when the door is out of plumb.
A house whose front faces a cremation ground does not give results even with correct facing and a correct door; most of the hard work drains away.
N4, E3 and W4 are the Mahalakshmi doors through which Lakshmi enters; a house with all three open sees a heavy flow of money and many sources of income.
On a full moon day, plaster the floor at the three Mahalakshmi door spots with desi cow dung and draw a rangoli with a small flower.
