Dos of Vastu:

Enhance east Facings of your house:

Indra, The king of Gods, rules east. Thereby, to keep him pleased, make sure to keep the rooms in the east direction clean and well-ventilated which will help you ensure prosperity.

Installing Nameplate:

Print this bold and clear so that it is easily legible. Also pin it on the wall or door at the chest level; pasted below that level, will give you a negative effect as suppression or decline in status.

Keeping Important Documents:

The north-east direction of your home/house is a conflict-free zone. You can use this place to keep all your documents, testimonials, certificates etc. Also, make sure to put a swastika on the place where you keep your documents which will ensure protection.

Don’ts of Vastu:

Avoid South-West side for your main door:

South-east belongs to Agni Dev, who will bring harsh infra rays of the Sun into the house and negative energies through your main door.

Do not place mirrors in South direction:

It brings conflict in the family and people can blame you for things that you have not done.

Indoor Plants:

Avoid keeping cactus or any thorny plants in your house. Avoid keeping useless things: Keep your home clutter-free as it will block positive energy to enter your house.
