Outer devtas in green are good entrance padas and in red are bad ones (24 of 32).

Positions follow the standard Vastu Purusha Mandala arrangement. Schools vary slightly in spelling (for example Indra's corner partner is also written Indraja) and in the order within each corner pair.

The 32 entrance padas

Each side of the plot has 8 padas of 11.25°, counted clockwise from the North-East corner. Green padas are good entrances; red padas are bad entrances (do not open a door there).
