The Ultimate Vastu Guide to Your Locker: How to Position Your Safe on Dhanteras & Diwali to Multiply Your Wealth
Unlocking Your Fortune: The Vastu-Perfect Way to Keep Your Locker or Safe This Dhanteras & Diwali
Dhanteras and Diwali are the most potent days of the year for wealth creation and worship. On Dhanteras, we welcome Lord Kuber, the celestial treasurer, and on Diwali, we invoke Goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of fortune. While we perform pujas and buy precious metals, there is one crucial element that often gets overlooked: the Vastu of our cash locker or safe.
Your locker is the physical epicenter of your wealth. It is not just a box to store valuables; it is a vessel that holds the energy of your prosperity. The direction it is placed in, the way it opens, and what you keep inside it can either multiply your wealth or cause it to stagnate and drain away. Aligning your safe with Vastu principles during this auspicious period is like providing a fertile ground for your assets to grow.
As a Vastu consultant with over two decades of experience, I have seen clients experience remarkable financial turnarounds simply by correcting the placement of their wealth locker. This guide will provide you with the definitive Vastu rules for your safe, ensuring that this Dhanteras and Diwali, you don’t just store your wealth you supercharge it.
The Golden Rule of Locker Placement: The South-West Zone
This is the most important principle. The ideal location for your cash locker, safe, or almirah where you store cash and jewelry is in the South-West corner of your room or your house.
• Why the South-West? This zone is governed by the Earth element (Prithvi), which signifies stability, heaviness, and grounding. Placing your wealth here ensures that it remains stable and grows steadily. It prevents wasteful expenditure and financial drains. The ruling deity of this direction is Nairuti, who provides strength and stability.
The Direction of Abundance: Which Way Should the Locker Open?
This is the second most critical factor. While the locker is placed in the South-West, the direction its door opens towards is what determines the inflow of wealth.
• The Locker Door MUST Open Towards the NORTH.
• Why the North? The North is the direction of Lord Kuber, the treasurer of the gods and the lord of wealth. When your locker opens towards the North, it is symbolically opening itself up to receive the blessings of Kuber. This alignment creates a powerful magnetic pull for financial opportunities and gains.
• What to Avoid: The locker door should NEVER open towards the South. The South is the direction of Yama, the lord of death. A locker opening to the South signifies a constant drain of wealth and can lead to heavy financial losses.
Summary of Placement:
• Body of the Locker: In the South-West.
• Door of the Locker: Opens towards the North.
To achieve this, you will typically place the locker against the Southern wall of the room.

|
Place a Mirror Inside
|
Stick a small, clean mirror on the inside of the locker door.
|
When you open the locker, the mirror reflects your cash and jewelry, symbolically doubling your wealth.
|
|
The Red Cloth
|
Line the base of the locker with a clean, red cloth.
|
Red is the color of Goddess Lakshmi and is highly auspicious. It provides a sacred and respectful base for your valuables.
|
|
Install a Sri Yantra
|
The Sri Yantra is the geometric embodiment of Goddess Lakshmi. Its presence is believed to multiply wealth exponentially.
|
|
|
Add a Wealth-Attracting Crystal
|
Citrine is known as the "Merchant's Stone" for attracting business and cash flow, while Green Aventurine is the stone of opportunity.
|
|
|
The First Deposit
|
On Dhanteras, after the puja, place the new gold/silver coin or utensil you purchased inside the locker.
|
This act inaugurates the locker for a new cycle of prosperity.
|
|
Keep it Organized
|
Do not keep unrelated items (like documents, bills) jumbled with cash and jewelry. Keep it neat.
|
A cluttered locker creates confused and chaotic financial energy.
|
Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Locker Under a Beam: Do not place your safe directly under an overhead beam. This creates immense pressure and stress related to finances.
• Locker Facing a Toilet: Ensure the locker is not in a position where it directly faces a bathroom door.
• Dusty or Dirty Locker: Never let your locker get dusty. Wipe it regularly. A dirty locker shows disrespect to the energy of wealth.
• Empty Locker: It is considered inauspicious to keep a locker completely empty. Always keep some cash or a coin inside.
Conclusion: Your Personal Bank of Abundance
Treat your locker not as a mere storage unit, but as your personal temple of prosperity. By aligning its placement with the powerful directional energies of Vastu and energizing it with sacred objects during the auspicious time of Dhanteras and Diwali, you are setting a powerful intention for the year ahead.
You are creating a vessel that doesn't just hold wealth, but actively attracts, retains, and multiplies it. This festive season, give your finances the Vastu advantage and watch as the universe conspires to fill your locker and your life with abundance.
