SCIENTIFIC VASTU | DOORS AND WINDOWS | An Architect Explains
In Vastu Shastra, the door and window positions are important because they not only let in the air, light and energy into the rooms of the house, but also provide protection against negative energies around. If they are in the right positions, then there is a positive flow of air, light and energy from the outside to the inside and from room to room, thus enhancing the health and the lives of the inmates and creating a feeling of contentment and happiness.
Before designing and constructing doors and windows for your next house, take into consideration the points listed here as they play a crucial role in determining the flow of Vastu energy in your house. Since Vastu is a science, every guideline is based on logic and reasoning. As an Architect, I have attempted to explain each of these guidelines rationally and scientifically under the following headings, so that you have a choice and can decide what you want to follow or don’t instead of looking at Vastu as a superstition:
HOW MANY DOORS AND WINDOWS SHOULD THERE BE IN A HOUSE?
Even number of doors – This must be due to the symmetric designs of houses in the earlier days. Even number of rooms were placed on either side of the line of symmetry. So the number of doors was also even.
There should be an even number of windows in the house, like 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. Avoid odd number of windows like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 . The Reason – It must have something to do with symmetry and the structure of the house, because in earlier times, the buildings had wooden roofs with rafters etc. So the positioning of windows was based on the roof grid. However, you can have any number of windows, depending on your requirement.
WHAT IS THE BEST LOCATION FOR DOORS IN A HOUSE?
For internal doors – Ideally, doors and windows should be placed opposite to each other so that both the positive and negative cycles are completed. The Reason – This is done to enable the proper flow of air thus facilitating cross-ventilation between rooms. If there’s a presence of stagnant air in your premises, having an insufficient flow of air within your house can promote the growth and development of harmful virus and bacteria. The resultant stagnant air arising out of this may not be suitable for the house inmates. Proper ventilation thus ensures happy and healthy living.
Any door should not be placed in the centre of a wall. It should ideally be far away from the centre while taking adequate care to not place it in the extreme corner either. The Reason – It is best if any opening is not in the corner as cracks can form and some bearing is needed to support the lintel of the opening. Doors should also be avoided in the middle of a wall as structurally it is not very sound.
If your house comprises of two main doors then, in that case, opt for a combination of doors in East with North and West, West with North and East. However, the direction of South and West/East should be avoided as it’s considered inauspicious. The Reason – Doors on opposite walls help in the flow of air and energy and prevent stagnation of air within the house.
For the Main door – it is advisable to follow the rules explained below. The Reason – Every time you enter your house you activate a presiding energy in relationship to the mandala of the house at that point. A door must be precisely located in order to activate the beneficial energy.
WHAT IS THE BEST LOCATION OF THE MAIN DOOR?
To figure out where to place a main door, imagine that you are standing outside the house, facing the front of the house. Divide the front facade of the house into two parts with an imaginary, middle, vertical line. The door should be placed towards the centre, either in the left or the right half, depending on the direction the house faces.
For a East facing House – Avoid placing a door in the left half (South-East), instead place it in the right half, that is towards the North-East. The Reason – Since the North-East corner of a plot is to be left open, for sunlight to enter the house, it makes sense to enter from this space but only after leaving as much of window openings towards the North and East.
The door should not be at the corner of the walls, but a few feet away from the corner junction. The Reason -Its preferable to have more window openings towards the North and East to allow constant sunlight through the day. Since the door is opaque, it should be placed away from the N-E corner, more to the centre.
For a South-facing House – Avoid placing a door in the left half (South-West), instead place it in the right half, that is in the South-East. The Reason- It is always preferrable to have minimum number of openings in the South-West since the hot infra-red rays of the evening sunlight are projected maximum to this direction.
If a house has a main entrance in the South there should be one more corresponding to it in the North direction also. The Reason – To allow the constant light from the North into the house.
For a West-facing house – Avoid placing a door in the right half (South-West), instead place it in the left half, that is in the North-West. The Reason – It is always preferrable to have few openings in the South-West since the hot infra-red rays of the evening sunlight are projected maximum to this direction.
If a house has a main entrance in the West it should have a corresponding door in the East also. The Reason -To allow maximum, useful UV rays found in the morning sunlight, into the house, since it is beneficial for health of the inamtes. (vitamin D synthesis)
For a North-facing house – Avoid placing a door in the right half (North-West), instead place it in the left half, that is in the North-East. The Reason – Its preferable to have more openings in the North and East to allow sunlight constantly, through the day. Since the door is opaque, it should be placed more to the centre of the wall and windows should be kept in the North-East.
WHAT IS THE BEST LOCATION OF THE WINDOWS IN A HOUSE?
The windows should be opposite to the doors so that both the positive and negative cycles are completed. The Reason – This is to allow the proper flow of air from room to room thus facilitating cross-ventilation between rooms. If there’s a presence of stagnant air in your premises, having an insufficient flow of air within your house can promote the growth and development of harmful virus and bacteria.
The windows in the North wall should be more towards the North-East and should be long and wide. The Reason – So that air and constant and useful morning light from North-East can permeate the house.
The windows in the East wall should be more towards the North-East and should be long and wide for the same reason as explained above.
Avoid too many windows in the South-West directions. The Reason – The harmful, hot infra red rays of the Sunlight are projected maximum to the South-West direction in India. Hence it is preferable to have less openings in this direction.
Windows should be long and wide to let in a lot of light
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR DOORS AND WINDOWS?
All the windows in your house should ideally be of uniform and consistent shape while also being proportionate in height and size as well. Moreover, doors and windows should be rectangular in shape. Avoid having fancy shaped and irregular sized doors as they are not considered auspicious. The Reason – Uniform and consistent shapes looks more aesthetic than windows of different sizes and shapes. Rectangular shape is the most stable shape structurally.
Automatic doors should be avoided at all costs. As per Vastu, doors which close automatically are said to affect the health of children. The Reason – Automatic doors can malfunction and there is the likelihood of children having their fingers stuck in the doors.
Doors and windows should be devoid of any damage or cracks. If any damage or cracks are there, they should ideally be replaced urgently as it’s considered to be extremely inauspicious as per Vastu. The Reason – The cracks can weaken the doors if they are not attended to immediately.
If your door or windows make noise or creaks while opening or closing, it should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible or it could result in unneeded quarrels in your house. The Reason – Creaking doors sound ominous and indicate loose hinges. They need to be tightened.

Windows into the White House? Situation Room photo stirs debate over Microsoft operating system
by Kurt Schlosser on January 3, 2019 at 11:34 am January 3, 2019 at 11:34 am
Talk about a screen shot.
An official photo shared by the White House on Tuesday evening captured President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence meeting with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders in the Situation Room of the White House. In the background were large computer screens showing that Windows 10 is the preferred OS in that particular room, located in the basement of the West Wing and known for its secure communications capabilities.
The image, captured by official White House photographer Shealah Craighead and distributed by the Office of the Press Secretary, was quickly shared on Twitter, causing a bit of a commotion over the White House’s choice of operating system.
Holy shit. That’s Windows 10… in the White House Situation Room. pic.twitter.com/Z7dJwIH7JC
While the image seems, at the minimum, to be a nice product placement for Microsoft, opinions differ on whether it was a big deal that Windows 10 was in use, or whether being able to see the screens constituted some sort of security vulnerability. Trump’s team certainly isn’t alone as Windows users. The latest stats show Windows 10 surpassing Windows 7 in overall usage, and Microsoft said last year that Windows 10 was installed on more than 700 million active devices.
In pointing out the picture, Zach Whittaker, TechCrunch security editor, referenced Windows 10’s “god awful telemetry” — Microsoft’s collection of systems data from computers running Windows — while also saying he expected tech journalist and author Ed Bott to weigh in. Bott focuses on Microsoft Windows, and his primer on Windows 10 telemetry is illuminating.
Bott replied, as if on cue, with an open-source reference.
Which Linux distro would you choose for the WH Situation Room? https://t.co/K22ADKbwGv
Is this surprise that it’s not XP anymore?
— Pwn All The Things (@pwnallthethings) January 3, 2019
honestly I don’t even know. Windows 10 is fine if it wasn’t for the god awful telemetry.
Hard to get the telemetry out of the SCIF tho.
— Pwn All The Things (@pwnallthethings) January 3, 2019
Jokes at the expense of the president and the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant ensued. At the very least, it seems as though Trump should ask for the desktop background image to be updated from the Windows 10 default to that “Game of Thrones”-style poster he was so proud of earlier in the day.
Keep scrolling for a sampling of the replies.
you know at some point Trump just logged in on the WH_Public network just to show Pence a tweet he did that morning.
That the photo was released with the screen visible is shit opsec and shouldn’t have happened.
No it’s not. It’s a screen. Omfg the White House uses icons…icons. Wait until you find out the DOD publishes the stigs they is to configure their machines
Maybe the Microsoft Paper Clip resigned after too many incidences of “It looks like you’re trying to build a wall/write a press release/fire a general/photoshop your inauguration picture/turn off caps lock.” It’s Cortana’s problem now.
I believe they have access to people who know a thing or two about hardening and/or making sure it doesn’t listen to the room to profile ads.
One would hope, I mean.
«Please wait for updates to finish…»
I don’t expect a bunch of non-techies to use a Linux distro. What OS would you recommend the White House use?
I just find it odd that they haven’t changed the background away from default.

I think that’s a good thing!! Better than 7 or 8.1!
