When does a main door built on a correct pad still not give proper results?
When the route to the boundary gate is heen bahu (anti-clockwise) or prishth bhang (circling the house), when there is any dwar vedh in front such as a T-point, shool vedh, pole, tree, pit or garbage, when the house faces a cremation ground, or when the door is out of plumb and leans inward or outward. In any of these cases even doors on N3, N4, E3, E4, S4 or W4 do not give their results.
Can the road-opening painting be used in flats?
Yes, if there is a dead end it can be made in a flat too, but first see what needs opening. If a direction such as the North or East is completely closed, it can also be opened this way.
Can yellow mustard and gomti chakra be put at a South-West main boundary gate?
Yes, it will benefit. These two items are not limited to any direction and can be used anywhere. Put the yellow mustard in properly dug pits, because if it meets moisture and sprouts it does no good. The specific South-West gate remedy is taught separately.
Do the main door rules apply to the outer boundary gate too?
The boundary gate carries only about 10 percent weight. The door through which you enter the house itself is the main door; the outer one is just the boundary-wall gate.
Do these pada results apply to the boundary wall door, the main door or every door of the house?
There are three types of doors: the boundary wall door (for example the entrance of a multi-storey building or the gate of a bungalow), the main door through which you enter your own home, and room doors such as the kitchen or bedroom door. The interpretation applies mainly to the main door. The boundary wall door also plays a role, but much less, because even after entering the gate you cannot get into the house if the main door is locked.
For a plot of, say, 33 x 70 that is not fully built, do we take the whole plot or only the constructed part?
Take the constructed area. For the boundary wall gate the centre of the whole plot is used, and for the main door the centre of the constructed area; this is taught in planning.
