 Vaasthu Sastra - The Main Door Frame - Installation

The Main Door and the Main Door Frame are considered as places of sanctity where Goddess Mahalakshmi resides. This Door Frame should be installed with enough of sanctity and devotion and should be maintained with care.

There is a procedure which should be followed in installing the Main Door Frame. The Main Door Frame is the wooden frame already manufactured and kept ready for installation on the opening in the wall, earmarked for the Main Door.

The basic requirement is the Vaasthu Time. This is not a Subha Muhurtham that are looked for performing auspicious functions like Marriage, Ear Boring Ceremony etc.

Vaasthu Time is totally different. Vaasthu Purusha is considered to be awake only for just for around 30 to 35 minutes in a month. Vaasthu Time will be available for 10 months in an year. Altogether, there will be only 10 half hour times available for performing Vaasthu related formalities.

Vaasthu Timing can be ascertained from the Panjangams and most of the Calendars. In a Daily Sheet Calendar Vaasthu Time is normally printed on the back side.

Select a Vaasthu Time and perform the installation of Main Door strictly within that time. You should collect and keep everything ready for performing the whole process within the given time of around 35 minutes. It is desirable that you complete the installation even some 5 minutes before the Vaasthu Time ends. And you should commence the installation activities just as soon as the Vaasthu Time commences and not earlier than that.

You can seek the help of the Contractor or Builder to provide and keep ready a Mason and necessary helpers with Cement Morter to fix up the Main Door Frame in place as soon as the Pooja formalities are over.

Also seek the presence of 5 Sumangali Ladies (Married Women), who will be present at that time, touch the Main Door Frame in a gesture of lifting it (which will then be fixed in its proper place by the Masons present.

The Main Door Frame should be kept leaning on the nearby wall facing either the East or North direction.

Purchase the Panchaloga and Navaratna well in advance and keep ready, which should be spread across the bottom of the Main Door Frame.

Collect as many five rupee coins as possible which should be spread across the bottom of the Main Door Frame.
