Diwali 2026 Vastu Checklist: Main Gate, Puja Ghar & Tijori Before 8 November
A room-by-room checklist for Diwali se pehle ghar ka vastu — what to clean, where to place crystals, and what to avoid.
Diwali 2026 Lakshmi Puja is on Sunday 8 November, and Dhanteras is on Friday 6 November. Most families spend the fortnight before resetting the home. This is a practical, no-fear checklist built on traditional Vastu belief — nothing here guarantees wealth or luck.
| Festival | Date |

| Dhanteras | Fri, 6 Nov 2026 |
| Chhoti Diwali | Sun, 8 Nov 2026 |
| Lakshmi Puja | Sun, 8 Nov 2026 |

1. Start with the clean-out (2–3 weeks before)
- Clear clutter, broken items and dead plants, starting from the North and North-East — the zones Vastu keeps lightest.
- Fix leaks, dripping taps and dead bulbs; keep entrances and staircases bright.
- Cleanse the crystals you already own using the safe methods in the cleansing guide. Never wash pyrite or selenite.
2. Main gate (Main Entrance)
- Keep the door clean, well lit and free of obstacles; hang a fresh toran and make a rangoli.
- Traditional crystal: black tourmaline just inside on both sides for protection from nazar.
- Full direction guide: main entrance crystals as per Vastu.
3. Puja room (North-East)
- Keep the altar light, clean and clutter-free; never store heavy items there.
- Traditional crystal: sphatik (clear quartz) beside the Lakshmi–Ganesh idols or Shree Yantra.
- Guide: puja room Vastu.
4. Cash locker (tijori) and work desk
- The locker traditionally sits in the South-West, opening towards the North.
- Traditional crystals: pyrite, citrine and a silver coin in red or yellow cloth; keep them dry.
- Guides: cash locker Vastu and work desk.
5. A simple timeline
- Now to 5 Nov: clean-out and crystal cleansing.
- 1 Nov (Sunday): Ravi Pushya, a popular window for planned purchases.
- 6 Nov: Dhanteras — new items, check authenticity first.
- 8 Nov: Lakshmi Puja in the evening Pradosh window for your city.
What to avoid
- Buying crystals from a rush sale without a bead list or return policy — run the real vs fake tester first.
- Fear-based advice about "dosh". Vastu is a traditional framework for tidiness and intention, not a prediction.
- Relying on a crystal in place of sound safety and money habits.

Frequently asked questions
Diwali se pehle ghar ka vastu kaise theek karein?+
Sabse pehle ghar ko saaf aur kam saaman wala banayein, khaaskar North aur North-East. Main gate roshan aur rukawat-rahit rakhein, puja ghar North-East mein saaf rakhein aur tijori South-West mein rakhein jiska darwaza North ki taraf khule. Ye paramparik Vastu maanyata hai, koi guarantee nahi.
Diwali par main gate par kaun sa crystal lagayein?+
Paramparik roop se darwaze ke andar dono taraf black tourmaline nazar-suraksha ke liye, aur North ya East ki taraf ek sphatik ya citrine rakhte hain. Sab kuch saaf aur tootne-phootne se mukt ho.
Cash locker mein kya rakhein Dhanteras par?+
Pyrite, citrine, ek chandi ka sikka aur laal ya peele kapde mein Lakshmi-Ganesh ya Shree Yantra. Tijori ko geele sthan se bachayein kyunki pyrite paani se kharab hota hai.
Kya Diwali se pehle crystals saaf karne chahiye?+
Haan, bahut se parivar Lakshmi Puja se pehle crystals ko dhuen ya selenite plate par saaf karte hain. Water-sensitive stones jaise pyrite aur selenite ko paani mein na daalein.
