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;
W3 spans 247.5° – 258.75°. 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.
