The 32 Entrance Padas

It is the pada, not the direction, that decides. Every wall carries eight positions and each wall has both auspicious and inauspicious ones — so a north-facing house can have a poor entrance and a south-facing house an excellent one. The table on this page lists all thirty-two.

Often, without moving the door. The usual approach is to shift the effective threshold within the same wall, or to apply zone-level remedies that offset what the pada is said to draw. What is appropriate depends on the plan, which is what the analyser works out.

No. A Vastu analysis is about the building — its orientation, its boundary and where each room sits. Birth details are optional, and only used if you want the astrology overlay, which reads the property against each occupant's chart rather than against the building alone.

A floor plan and the direction the building faces. You can upload a plan image and mark the centre, the boundary and north on it, start from a built-in template, or draw the outline yourself. The analyser needs the outline and the compass; everything else it derives.

The reference tables on these pages are free to read. Running your own floor plan through the analyser — the zone scoring, defect list, remedies, heatmap and report — is part of the Pro plan.
