Vastu Tips To Follow For Dussehra Decoration

Dussehra is the auspicious day when Ravan is burned, memorializing the victory of good over evil. People collect in fairs and burn the idol of Ravana into ashes.

The preparation for the Dussehra festivity starts a few days before, when people start cleaning their homes. It is always said that people must deeply purify and cleanse their homes before the arrival of Dussehra to invite sacred energy into the space.

For this quest, one can follow some Vastu tips as well, which can ensure that one’s space is vibrant, welcoming, and spiritually uplifting. So, let’s have a look at those Vastu tips for Dussehra decoration:

Vastu Decoration Tips for Dussehra Festival

1. Energize the Entrance Space

Your entrance area is called the mouth of your home, from where good or bad energy enters. So, it must be adorned up beautifully to allow the positive energy to let in. For this, you can:

1. Place a toran (door hanging) made of mango leaves or marigold flowers on the entrance door.
2. Make a rangoli on the northeast- or east-facing entrance.
3. The entrance must be kept well-lit with LED lights.

2. Setting Up The Pooja Space

When Dussehra arrives, many people perform Ayudha Puja. So, for that part of the celebration too, one must keep count of some vastu tips for the spiritual benefits:

1. Set up the altar at the northeast corner (Ishanya).
2. One must face east when performing puja, and the idols, like the Lord Kubera statue or pictures, must be kept facing west.
3. A clean, white, or yellow cloth must be used for the altar space.
4. Diya must be lit up in the Southeast corner.

3. Use Nature’s Five Elements

Use nature’s five elements, like earth, air, water, fire, and space, for your festive decor. For this, you can follow the steps underneath:

1. Earth: Make use of clay diyas or earthen pots
2. Water: You can use small water fountains or a bowl of water with flowers in the northeast direction.
3. Fire: Using candles or diyas in the southeast direction.
4. Air: Hang bells or chimes near windows.
5. Space: Keep your home space open and clutter-free.

4. Make Use Of Colors

Colors have a strong influence on your mood. So, make the environment level up and more charming using different vibrant colors.

1. You can make use of red, orange, yellow and gold colors for altar decoration, draping, and floor adorning.
2. Avoid using black or very dark shades, because they make the environment dull.

5. Make Use Of Auspicious Symbols

For the festive decoration, people can make use of auspicious symbols like Swastik, Om and Shree. These help invite prosperity and remove negativity.

Draw the symbols using Kumkum or turmeric at your entrance or on your pooja room door.

It’s always the right side of the entrance wall that is ideal for these symbols.

6. Don’t Keep Home’s South Zone Looking Dull

The South Zone of the home is governed by Yama, who is called the God of death. But to make it a place of stability and strength, follow the rules, such as:

1. Decorate the south walls, keeping the Lord Rama Idol, which features Ravana's defeat, or it can be Maa Durga defeating Mahishasura.
2. Place red flowers or the red creative items in this space to energize the corner.

7. Make Sure You Don’t Have Broken Items At Home

Always keep a check that you might not have broken things in your home, such as cracked lamps, broken wall hangings, or things like that. The wall clocks must be working; they must not be the stopped ones hanging on your home walls. In addition, don’t keep the metal or glass items with pointed ends in your bedroom or living room.

8. Decorate North Zone With Wealth Symbols

The north direction of the home is considered the direction of wealth, Lord Kuber. For the correction of Vastu, follow the steps such as

1. Place the Kuber idol or a bowl of coins or crystals in the north direction.
2. Decorate the area with golden or silver items.
3. Avoid placing heavy furniture on this side.

9. Use Fragrance For Positive Vibes

Fragrances spread positive vibes everywhere. So, to know how to use fragrances during the festive decor? Use the following guidelines:

1. Incense sticks and dhoops can be used in the northeast direction or the center of the home.
2. Essential oils like sandalwood, rose, or lavender are very auspicious to be used in the center of the home.

Concluding Words

So, let’s wipe out the negativity this Dussehra fest and bring a surge of auspiciousness to our lives!
