Have A Sweet Diwali: The stock of sugar in your house must not be low during Diwali. This is a ritual that ensures that you have a sweet year in store.

Your Doorway: In Vastu Shashtra, the main entrance of your house is associated with upcoming opportunities. So do not leave any obstructions in your doorway. Make sure the door opens fully and there is no clutter in its way. Make a beautiful rangoli outside your doorway to welcome the gods. The 'toran' put up outside the door serves the same purpose.

Go North For Wealth: The northern part of your house is called the Kuberastan or the place of wealth. You must make sure that Goddess Lakshmi is placed here. And, idol of Ganesh must sit to the right of Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati to her left. Place the idols of the gods on a bright red new cloth.

As The Water Flows: A source of running water is very good for the house. It is said that flowing water absorbs all the negativity in the house and takes it along. That is why place a small water fountain in the north-east direction of the house.
