You can make rangoli patterns near the entrance and Pooja Ghar.  Rangoli has an eternal power to influence and change the environment, the entire house and its residents. Rangoli designs encourage positive energy to enter your home.  For instance, wavy rangoli opens doors for a new opportunity and helps in clarity of mind. So, design a beautiful rangoli pattern near your entrance to purify the environment from evil spirits.
