Abstract:
The establishment of the door is the most significant domain of the vāstuśāstra, the science and art of house planning. The entire circle of techniques which are analyzed in different types of vāstu texts have been constructed by taking into consideration the interdependence variables of cosmic radiation, solar radiation, wind energy, magnetic field of the earth & gravitational attraction. By all means of the establishment of doors, acquisition of pure ventilation is not only merely to be expected. Influential techniques on the orientation of the doors are deeply discussed in various vāstu texts such as Viśvakarmaprakāśa, Mānasāra, Manușyālayacandrikā and so forth. Different inaccurate aspects have been come into existence due to maintaining the conventional ideology that was descended. On the basis of the fundamental sources, attempt is taken to explicate the scientific and veritable techniques on the orientation of the doors. The similarities as well as the discrepancies which can be examined going through the primary sources are to be discussed with an eye to establish the most accurate methods of door planning. The scientific background of the door planning is to be analyzed in this research by considering the variables of five elements on which all the techniques have been flourished in vāstuśāstra
