Practically makes one like a king.
2 Dhumra (smoke) Dwar burning, smoke, health, fire, all disadvantages caused by smoke.
3 Simha (lion) Dwar Temple use only, just like dvaja dwara with one more quality, destroys
the party living opposite to you.
4 Sva (dog) Dwar Dog mentality, fights at home, etc.
5 Vrsabha (Bull) Dwar Good results but has to work hard like bull.
6 Khara (donkey) Dwar No benefit or progress, works like donkey.
7 Gaja (elephant) Dwar Just like Dvaja Dwar but dweller of home will have two or more

8 Kaaka (crow) Dwar just like crow mentality and will eventually go down to poverty
(daridhrata).

Matsya purana gives following important information about piercing or obstructing of the
doorway.

Any road, street peircing the door of house brings ruination of whole dynasity. Door being
peirced or obstructed by tree brings more enimosity, beingsplashed by mud or dirty water
brings misery, obsturcted by well (well right in front of door) brings disease of (mrgi) epilepsy.
Flowing Water peircing the door (canal of roof in monsoon)brings bodily pain, if pierced by nails
brings fear of fire, struck with a demigod(carving demigods figures on door)brings ruination and
struck with (obstructed by)a pillar brings misery from ladies of home.

Doors opposite to other house (door) brings destruction of house owner and being struck with
inauspicious ingredients the lady of the home becomes barren. If cremation grounds are right
infront of home or cremation ashes struck (coming through smoke or any other means when
bodies are burned) the door the owner has fear from weapons. But if that is situated at a
distance of more than double of the height of house, this dosa(fault) does not apply.

Doors opening automatically - brings disease of craziness or madness, doors closing

automatically - destroys the whole dynasty. Doors higher than owners's height(or social
status)than fear from king and if shorter (below the befitting social status) then fear from
theives.

Door above door in home is considered mouth of Yamraja. The home which is situated in the
middle of road and has width very long, such a home soon like a thunderbolt destroys the
owner. If main door is smaller than other doors in the home that is considered a big fault and is
