Locating the Main Entrance on Your Floor Plan
In Vastu Shastra, there are a total of 32 possible entrances you can have for a building, each one influencing the occupants’ lives differently.
Understanding the 32 Entrances in Vastu Shastra
By dividing the full 360° circle around a house, you obtain 32 entrances, with each entrance occupying 11.25° of the circle.
- Each cardinal direction — North, East, South, and West — is further divided into 8 entrances each.
- For example, the North direction includes entrances labeled N1 to N8.
32 Entrances in Vastu and the Concept of 32 Vastu Padas
Each of these 32 entrances is linked to a specific Vastu Pada or energy field, affecting the house differently.
- Some entrances bring positive energy and prosperity.
- Others may lead to obstacles, health issues, or financial instability.
Therefore, it becomes essential to mark all the 32 entrances on your house plan in order to select the most auspicious entrance.
Steps to Mark the 32 Entrances on Your Floor Plan
To ensure precise marking and placement, follow this systematic approach:
- Step 1: Identify and mark the center point of your house on the map.
- Step 2: Use a reliable compass to find the exact North direction.
- Step 3: Draw a straight line from the center of the house to the North point.
- Step 4: From the North line, draw another line at an 11.25° clockwise angle, which will represent N5.
- Step 5: Continue drawing lines at every 11.25° interval in a clockwise direction, labeling them as N6, N7, N8, E1, E2, and so on.
By following these steps, you will successfully mark all 32 entrances and be able to choose the one that aligns best with positive Vastu energies.
