# South-west main door brings financial loss, accidents: Vastu 2026-09-19T21:41:28+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The main door of a house influences about 35% of its Vastu, with the south-west direction considered the most inauspicious. According to Vastu principles, a main door facing south-west brings 'death-like suffering', repeated financial loss and accidents. No remedies exist for a south-west main door except removing it entirely. Other negative directions include south-east, which causes recurring troubles and unexpected accidents, and north-east, which leads to financial problems and fire-related issues. A north-west facing main door increases the number of people who behave as friends in front but enemies behind, reducing genuine supporters. The article advises not to decide the main door's location based solely on convenience or beauty. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Vastu Shastra, the traditional Hindu system of architecture, is widely followed in India, especially during home construction and purchase. Many families consult a Vastu expert before finalising a property, and banks in India have even financed homes contingent on Vastu compliance. The article's emphasis on the main door's direction reflects a common belief that it governs the flow of energy or prana. Buyers and builders should note that while Vastu guidelines for doors are specific, remedies like mirrors, colours or small structural changes are often available for directions other than south-west. Real estate developers routinely advertise Vastu-compliant layouts as a selling point in major cities. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Tags: Aaj Tak, Vastu Shastra Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/south-west-main-door-brings-financial-loss-accidents-vastu/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
