Vastu Basics for Your Home Entrance

Vastu Shastra is the traditional science of architecture and space — this is a general introduction to its guidance on the home entrance, not a site-specific assessment of your property.

The main entrance is considered one of the most important points in a home, as it is where energy is believed to enter. A north or east-facing entrance is traditionally considered auspicious, and keeping the entrance well-lit, clutter-free and in good repair is a recurring theme across Vastu guidance.

For guidance specific to your own home's layout and direction, a Vastu consultation with a pandit is the right next step — this article is a starting point, not a substitute for one.
