If a door can be moved at construction or renovation time, these are the positions classical Vastu favours.

How the pada is found: stand at the exact centre of the home and measure the compass bearing to the middle of the main door. The 360° circle divides into 32 padas of 11.25° each; S8 spans 213.75° – 225°. Entrances are always judged on this 32-pada ring — a door a few degrees either side can fall in a different pada with a different result, which is why an accurate floor plan matters more than a rough guess.
