According to Vastu Shastra, if the main gate is broken, rusted, damaged or making noise, then the energy of this place is greatly affected. It also obstructs the money, opportunities and positive energy coming into the house. In Vastu Shastra, the main door of the house is also considered the entrance of energy, hence it is very important to take care of the main door.

According to Vastu Shastra, if the main door of the house is half opened or gets stuck in the middle or if shoes and slippers are kept there, then it is considered to be the biggest cause of Vastu defect. According to Vastu, the main gate of the house should be movement free, otherwise one may face obstruction in the flow of money.

Darkness at the main gate is also considered wrong according to Vastu. Darkness always attracts negative energy towards itself. If the light at the gate is dim or not working for a long time, then it also causes financial problems.

The smell of dirt, dampness, dustbin or mud near the main entrance of the house also hinders positive energy. Due to this, the household may have to face the problem of increasing expenses and depletion of savings. According to Vaastu and religious scriptures, sorrow, poverty and disease always reside in dirty places.

It is also very important to keep the walls around the gate clean. Torn arches, posters and broken name plates or dirty marks on the door show a negative impact on the financial condition of the house. The main gate should always be clean, simple and decorated with auspicious symbols.

Most people keep the mat in the wrong direction at the main gate of the house, but according to Vastu, the mat should face inwards towards the house, so that negative energy cannot enter. In many houses, the mat at the main gate is kept upside down, which can cause Vaastu defects somewhere.
