The holy festival of Diwali is considered to have special and supernatural significance in Indian Sanatan culture, festivals and traditional beliefs. On this great festival of light and happiness, everyone is busy decorating their house and welcoming Goddess Lakshmi. This year, this great festival of Diwali is being celebrated on 8th November 2026, Sunday, and in such a situation, the phase of cleaning and decoration of houses is in the final stage. However, merely sweeping or painting the house is not enough. According to the rules of Vaastu Shastra and ancient Feng Shui, the decor and interior decoration of our home directly affects the energy of our life, sweetness of family relationships and our financial progress. If small Vastu or Feng Shui mistakes are inadvertently left in the decoration of the house, then it weakens the positive energy of the house and causes unnecessary troubles in life. Let us know in detail which very important and effective Feng Shui measures should be adopted to balance the decoration and energy of the house just before Diwali.
Never put family photos above the fireplace or heater, it can sour relationships.
In the principles of Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra, the objects kept inside the house and their direction are given great importance. Often people decorate beautiful family photos or any important frames just above the fireplace or heater to make their drawing room or living area look attractive. But according to the rules of Feng Shui, this method of decoration can prove to be extremely harmful for your relationships.
The fireplace symbolizes the fire element, and placing family photos or any sensitive frames directly above it should be avoided. Vastu experts believe that having family photographs in the area affected by fire creates tension and emotional distance in relationships. This is a wrong balance of energy which can cause unwanted estrangement and discord in your relationships with your loved ones. Therefore, during Diwali cleaning, take special care that family photos should always be kept on a calm, positive and safe wall.
Do not put artwork depicting loneliness or sadness in the house even by mistake.
Paintings, sculptures and different types of artworks are used to decorate home or office cabin. But Feng Shui gives strict instructions that any picture or artwork depicting loneliness, separation or sadness should never be placed inside the house.
Young people or people who are looking for a good partner in life, or who are planning to start new business ventures and careers, should take special care of this. On this auspicious occasion of Diwali, do not hang any sad or lonely picture in the main room of your house or around your work desk. These types of artworks work counter to our efforts and create a negative and dull energy within us. Also, if you have any old photographs in your house of a loved one who is no more, it is best to save them in an album rather than displaying them on the main walls. Such pictures retain stagnant and heavy energy in the atmosphere of the house, thereby affecting the overall energy of the house.
Do not ignore cleaning under the bed in the bedroom, old energy can become an obstacle.
On the occasion of Diwali, every nook and corner of the house is cleaned, but it is often seen that people forget to clean the dust and junk accumulated under the bed or ignore it. According to the Vastu rules of Feng Shui, your bedroom floor and especially the area under the bed should always be completely clean and organized.
If you keep a pile of unnecessary stuff under the bed or do not clean it regularly, it means that you are unknowingly sleeping on ‘stagnant energy’. This stagnant energy directly affects your mental health, sleep quality and marital happiness. Along with this, Feng Shui also advises that during this Diwali cleaning, you should also throw out those old and worn out shelves or clothes which you have not been using for a long time. Torn, old and unused clothes weaken your personal aura.
Remove blockages from main doors and paths immediately, money and positive energy will arrive.
In both Vastu and Feng Shui, doors of the house are seen as gateways to energy. To welcome Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali, it is most important that there should not be any kind of obstruction or blockage in front of any door of your house.
Even though subtle energies do not require very large paths to travel, any heavy objects or useless items placed right in front of the main door or the doors of rooms actually act as a blockage in the path of those positive energies and opportunities for which you are working hard day and night. Keep the main door of your house completely clean, illuminated and free from obstructions so that this Diwali, happiness, prosperity and the immense blessings of Goddess Lakshmi can enter your house unhindered.
