Obstructions and Faults

The influence of Vedha (obstruction) on any part of the house is also necessary to take into account. Vedha is inauspicious.

The uneven floor of the house, ditch of water, well or path of another house lying in front of the door is called Taalavedha (floor obstruction). If the back portion of the house is low or high, it is too called Taalavedha. If the corners of the house are unequal, it is called Konavedha (corner obstruction). The door of which upper frame is projecting back is called Shirvedha (head obstacle).

Faults take place on various fronts. Door composition and position, facing directions, material mix-up, long or short extensions etc are few among them. Improper positioning of terrace in front of the door is also considered inauspicious. If the house has only one terrace it has to be in front of the house in the south portion.

When a quarrel erupts in the family between brothers, in many cases a division is made to the house by erecting a wall in the middle. This is highly wrong. In such cases one will prosper and the other will suffer.
