East Facing House Vastu

East facing houses are the second most preferred homes after north facing ones. In vastu shastra, East facing houses can range from being very auspicious to very inauspicious ones. It’s not the orientation of the house that makes it auspicious or inauspicious; it’s the placement of all the rooms, parts and the entrance of the home that matters; however, a “huge importance” is given to the entrance of the house.

East facing houses in vastu shastra, there’re rules, guidelines and principles that you need to and must follow when it comes to doing vastu for East facing house. The placement of the main door is importance. East is considered to be a good direction in vastu shastra but must locate the entrance at only “allowed” places and never locate in the “prohibited” zones.

East part (length from North-East to South-East) is divided in 9 equal parts. Each part is called as “pada” or step in vastu shastra. The 5th pada is the most auspicious one to locate a main door for East facing home. It’s the location of Sun (the God of fame) and blesses the residents with a lot of name, fame and respect in the society. The pada’s 3^rd and 4^th are the ones that you can use (for entrance/main door) if pada 5^th alone is small. But make sure to include pada 5^th along with padas 4^th or 3^rd. Padas 1^st and 2^nd are the prohibited ones; however, if you happen to locate the entrance of your home here then there’s nothing to fret about as it won’t bring any harm; however, it may not give any benefits at the same time too. Also, if you’re planning to use pada 1^st for main door, then make sure to leave at least 6 inches (1/2 feet) of space from NE wall; i.e the main door shouldn’t touch NE corner. The pada’s 6^th and 7^th are the ones that can be used if there’s no option to place the main door towards padas 4^th, 3^rd, 2^nd or 1^st. However, it’s always better to include pada 5^th in this arrangement. Padas 8 and 9 are the “prohibited” ones and must never be used to locate the entrance of a house and that’s because it’s the place from where illness enters the home.
