What is Vaastu Shastra Meaning in General Terms?
Evolved in ancient India, the practice—the science of architecture—is still widely common and deeply rooted in Indian cultural tradition manifested through the construction of homes and the placement of materials within.

Cleanliness of the Home Environment
The most important moment before the celebration is the initiative and preparation of cleanliness of the surroundings of the home and within. Usually, this cleanliness process starts 2 days in advance, while for some it starts a week in advance. Ensuring the cleanliness is crucial for those looking to invite the presence of Maha Lakshmi in the home. Hence, as per Vaastu Shastra home cleanliness guidelines, you can usually observe (embrace) the following practices:

2. Each and every corner is properly cleaned to ensure negativity is eliminated.
3. Broken items are not allowed to litter in the surroundings.
4. More importantly, in order to drive away the negative energies or evil forces, ensure that you sprinkle some amount of salt in water before applying the same to clean the house.

6. Ensure that you never sweep the house, including its surroundings, in the evening.
Vastu of the Main Entrance of the House
The main entrance acts as the threshold for positive energy as well as the welcoming of divine power. Due to the above fact, maintaining the cleanliness is extremely essential, especially for inviting the diving presence of Goddess Lakshmi since She loves the sense of purity, neatness, and hygiene. Hence, including the Lal Kitab, Vaastu Shastra for homes mentions that the main entrance should display a high degree of cleanliness. After this, you may ensure the following decor tips as well:
1. Prepare a garland made of mango leaves and hang it at the main entrance attached to both corners of the frame (or bar) of the doors.

3. And don’t forget to decorate the entrance with lights and flowers, which is believed to enhance the positivity and good luck for each one in your family.
Make Rangoli at the Main Entrance of the House
Most of the Vaastu Shastra books mention how important it is to decorate your house with Rangoli at the entrance (or within your home). It not only enhances the degree of beauty but also the auspiciousness within the home. The following are some of the important tips on how you can enhance the spiritual significance along with the sense of beauty:

Spiritual Ceremony Tips of Vaastu Shastra Home Atmosphere Enhancement
Now comes the crucial point. There are many books, as well as Lal Kitab that focus on the proper placement of temples and idols in the home. They speak on how you can place the idols of Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi. While the following points describe the basic rules and tips for the placement and decoration of altars, you can still consider them to be highly useful:

Removal of Broken Items from the House
Whether broken or unused, all of the items lying inside the home are considered clutter. And clutter is something that acts as a pool of negative energy. In other words, it attracts negative power inside the home. In fact, Lal Kitab and Vaastu Shastra for home support this idea, i.e., removing the clutter from home; removing all such items will enable the house to be a perfect abode for divine presence.
1. If you have broken or damaged utensils, including furniture in your home, remove them on priority.
2. Discard or throw away the clothes that are not used for over 6 months.
3. Besides the utensils and furniture (needing to be removed), if you have any other broken items, you should make sure you get rid of them immediately.
Diwali Decoration: Use Auspicious Colours
Despite knowing the fact that each zodiac sign has a specific colour association for good luck and success, we are not discussing the same here in that reference because our Acharya’s are the right people who can administer the guidance on those points. In general, and especially in Hinduism, colour holds great significance when it comes to enhancing the spiritual atmosphere in home, and during Diwali, you wouldn’t want to undermine how important a role it plays for the same.
1. Since red, yellow, and golden colours are auspicious for any type of occasion, decorating your house with either of them or in combination would elevate the appearance of your house.
2. Not just Vaastu Shastra books do mention this, but it is holy and customary to use red colour clothes for the seating’s of Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi.
3. When you decorate your house with any of these colours, ensure that you match their significance as per Vaastu principles.
Lighting Lamps inside the House according to Vaastu
Lamps, which are called Diya’s in Hindi, are essential yet spiritual elements in Hinduism and during Diwali their auspicious and positive significance reach a new level. Hence, you can follow the given below tips on how to participate in lighting lamps to invite a sense of prosperity and positive force:

2. If you have special lamps (Diya’s), ensure to light in the north-east corners since this direction is considered auspicious.

Balancing Five Elements in Your Home
As per some tips mentioned in the books of Vaastu Shastra, there are five natural elements—earth, water, air, fire, and space—that contribute to harmony within your own physical state, outside you, in your home, and the whole space surrounding the earth. So, incorporating them into your Diwali celebration completes your effort to connect with the spiritual world. You can observe the following practices:
1. Purchase lamps (diya) made of clay that you can light during the celebration in order to welcome divine power.
2. Collect a bowl filled with water where you can light a floating candle.
3. Refresh the environment by lighting incense sticks to make the air within the home more auspicious.
