For a door in a bad position, five potlis of yellow mustard are made in the five colours of the five elements and hung at the door, hidden behind mango leaves or a mango-leaf bandanwar. This reduces the door's defect to the minimum.
Mango leaves, or a bandanwar of mango leaves
At a door in a wrong pad such as E1, E3, E6, E7 or E8, or any other defective door position
Hang a bandhanwar of good mango leaves, ideally with Om and swastik tied on and a swastik drawn in kesar, on a main door built on a wrong pada. It reduces the ill effect of the door by about 50 percent.

Extract the juice of mango leaves and plaster it beneath the place where the unmarried girl or boy sleeps. Marriage and other auspicious events that were stuck then get completed.

An earthen kalash full of water, topped with a coconut and five mango leaves, is set on a heap of wheat in the North-East of a built home; the colour, shine and growth of the javare that sprout from the wheat show the energy of the home.

The teacher left it to the students; their suggestions, a mango leaf swastik toran and a toran of cow-dung cakes, were both called correct. He then gave his best (Kohinoor) bandhanwar for any wrongly placed door: make round discs of desi cow dung, draw a swastik on each, fix them on a bandhanwar strip and hang it on the main door, and the defects end. The alternative, a daily desi cow-dung lepan in front of the main door with a rangoli in the colour of its zone, is hard to keep up every day, so the permanent bandhanwar is better.
No. What counts is composition and quality, not appearance; ashopalav leaves have a different composition, so they do not carry the properties of mango leaves. Mango leaves have many special qualities: their juice is used for purifying land, and where marriage is not happening or auspicious functions keep failing, mango leaf juice is applied as a lepan beneath the place where the girl or boy sleeps, after which the auspicious events take place.
The mango tree. It is one of the tall outdoor trees for the South-West, and being very pure its leaves make the bandanwar for all auspicious functions.
Draw five swastiks with your own hand, using kesar, on the main entrance; they become a permanent bandhanwar (toran).
