Opportunities won’t be able to discover you, if your house lacks a distinct identity of its own. A nameplate should depict more than just your name. It should present your individuality with a unique style.

For the nameplate to manifest positivity and harmony, the materials should be chosen wisely. What’s more, is that the Vastu of your house is heavily influenced by the direction it faces. So if the door is in the north or west direction, a metallic nameplate is suggested to align with the energy which prevails in that direction. In contrast, if the door is in the south or east direction, a wooden name plate is to be chosen for the same. The entrance of your home should be embellished with God’s presence, with sacred portraits or elegant statues of Ganesh or sanctified signs of Om or the holy swastiks or just gracing it with some Shloks.
