32 Entrances (Padas) of Vastu Shastra
To help you visualize the 32 Entrances (Padas) of Vastu Shastra, I have detailed the grid below. In Vastu, each cardinal direction is divided into 8 segments, totaling 32.
The image below represents the Vastu Purusha Mandala grid, highlighting the “Power Zones” (auspicious entries) and the “Danger Zones” (to be avoided).

The Breakdown of the 32 Gates
| Direction | Auspicious Padas (Best Entries) | Inauspicious Padas (Avoid) |
| North | N3 (Mukhya), N4 (Bhallat) Brings wealth and abundance. | N1 (Roga), N6 (Bhujang) Leads to health issues and enmity. |

How to Use This Chart:
- Stand in the Center: Stand at the exact center of your plot/home.
- Face Your Main Door: Note the exact degree on a compass.
- Divide by 11.25°: Each of the 32 padas occupies exactly 11.25
- Identify the Zone: Match your degree to the specific deity/pada name to see if your entrance is attracting or draining energy.
