Vastu recommends the main door be kept larger than other entrance doors of the house.
Two entrance doors for a house is the best-suitable situation. Care should be taken to
keep exit gate smaller in height than the main entrance door. In case there are two
external doors for the building, Vastu prohibits them to be placed in a straight line.
Decorating the main door with an OM or Swastika and other auspicious signs or pictures
and statuettes of Lord Ganesha, Kuber or Goddess Lakshmi brings good luck for the
family. At the same time care should be taken about avoiding any inauspicious picture of
violence or wrecked structures at the entrance door.

Vastu Main Door Entrance

The main door should open towards inside welcoming the person coming through and
should have two shutter-divisions. Vastu Shastra pundits suggest using wood like teak for
the main entrance door. The main door should not open to a wall and also any kind of
shadow should not fall on the entrance door. For the correct placing of the main door as
per Vastu Shastra Principles , divide the house into nine parts. The left hand side fourth
division is best suited for the main entrance door.

Vastu Main Door Direction

Vastu recommends avoiding direct oppositional facing of entrance doors of two houses or
sharing of a common entrance door by two separate houses. The south direction is not
recommended for main entrance door. If the main entrance to the site and the main door
of the house are in same direction, it is believed to bring prosperity to the household and
affect adversely if they are in opposite directions. The front door should not face any
abandoned or demolished property.

To summarize, the main entrance door to any building it the step of first impression to the
visitor. The very placing and decoration of this door brings in wealth and prosperity to
your household and also pleases the visiting guests.
