Gate Checker
Check your compound/boundary gate — not the same as your main door (see the Entrance Checker for that). Zone, size relative to the door, and number of gates — three independent, sourced, deterministic verdicts.
1. Which zone is your compound gate in?
2. How does your gate compare to your main door?
Independently corroborated practitioner consensus: 'compound walls should not be taller than the main house as that can block positive energies... when the compound wall or gate exceeds the height of the main building, it's believed to obstruct the flow of positive energy into the home.' Recorded as a ceiling on the gate_size.larger_than_door guidance above, not a separate scored zone.
3. How many gates does your compound have?
4. Which way should the gate open?
One governed rule, not a picker.
Gate Vastu — questions people ask
Is the compound gate the same as the main door in Vastu?
No — they're distinct classical topics. The main door is the house's own entrance, covered by this platform's 32-pada Entrance Checker. The gate is the outer boundary/compound wall's gate, which can sit in a different zone and has its own separate placement guidance.
Which zone should a compound gate be in?
Northeast carries the broadest classical consensus as most auspicious, combining favorable energies for a boundary opening. North and East are strong secondary choices.
Should the gate be bigger or smaller than the main door?
The gate should generally be equal to or slightly larger than the main door, while staying smaller than the height of the house itself — a gate that dwarfs the house or is smaller than the door is documented as unfavorable.
Where do this tool's verdicts come from?
A versioned, deterministic rule set compiled from classical zone-deity doctrine and modern practitioner guides, cross-checked for disagreement. No AI generates or alters verdicts.
