Diwali Rangoli: Vastu Rules Guide Colours and Shapes for Lakshmi's Welcome

TOI Astrology · spirituality

Vastu Shastra principles suggest specific rangoli designs and colours for Diwali entrances to invite Goddess Lakshmi and positive energy. The main door, considered the house's 'mouth,' requires careful decoration. For north-facing doors, green and blue are recommended, while east-facing doors benefit from warm yellow and orange. South-facing entrances suit red and pink, and west-facing ones are best with white and silver. Circles and lotus motifs are auspicious shapes, with Lakshmi's footprints pointing inwards signifying her arrival.
