 Imagine dividing the east length of the house into 9 equal parts, from the north-east to the south-east. Each part is called a ‘pada’ or a step, the pada in the north-east corner is 1st, while the one in the south-east corner is 9th.

 The 5th pada, the one in the middle is the most auspicious location for the main door in an east-facing the house. It is the location of the Sun, the God of fame, it ensures that the residents earn a good name and fame.

 If the 5th pada is small, you can place the entrance in the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th pada.

 The four padas, 3, 4, 6, and 7 can be used for the main entrance if the 5th pada is too small on its own. But is always best to include the 5th pada in the arrangement.

 The padas 1 and 2 in the north-east are prohibited. But if you have no other option but to build the main entrance in the north-east corner, you have nothing to worry about. No harm will come to you, but you will not be receiving any benefit either.

 The 8th and 9th padas are strictly prohibited, as it is the south-east from where all illnesses make their way into the house.
