Dr. Ganganath Jha writes in the \*B & O Research Society Journal\*, Vol. II, Pt. II, June, 1906 :—Every house should have doors on all four sides ; but no two doors should be exactly opposite each other. Even the modern village mason is very particular about this. In spite of the strictest orders of the master, he will never allow two doors to be exactly opposite, but will shift them at least an inch or two. The preventing of direct draught appears to be the motive underlying this rule. - [Previous: c19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c19.5) - [Next: c19.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c19.7) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c19.6) · Pramāṇa
