Also known assaffron
Shikhi, also called Shiva, is the first outer devta of the pishach bhoomi, at E1 near the North-East corner. A mahayogi and a highly sensitive maha-dowser, its pad reacts at once to anything done there; it governs vision, foresight and decisions.
Marigold flowers, kesar (saffron) and kewra itra as offerings

Jayant, the third devta of the East (pad E3, in the outer paishachik ring), is the success-maker who completes any work by any means (saam, daam, dand, bhed) while following dharma, and converts knowledge into wealth. Its door is called the vipul sampada (abundant wealth) door because the grace of the Moon on this pad is very strong.
Kesar for the swastik
Pad E3 of the East side, 61.875 to 73.125 degrees (East-North-East zone), in the outer paishachik ring
Satya, the sixth devta of the East, is the son of Dharma and stands for truth, goodwill and justice; like a village panchayat whose members speak the truth, it gives fair decisions. Balanced, it makes a person a good judge and advisor; imbalanced, lies spread through the house and honour is lost.

Pad E6 of the East side, the 11.25 degrees after Surya, 95.625 to 106.875 degrees (East and East-South-East zones)
Surya, the fifth devta at the centre of the East, lights the three worlds, destroys darkness and negativity, gives energy to all planets and never misses its time. Balanced, it gives fearlessness, good decisions, speaking power, fame, leadership, government support and perfect time management.
Kesar swastik
Pad E5, the centre of the East, 84.375 to 95.625 degrees (East zone)
Write it on the floor, not on the kalash, using kesar. Once the method is complete, the mantra has to be wiped clean with a cloth.
It can be made on kitchen tiles, but a whitewashed surface is a must for the test. Make it in the earth (prithvi) tatva of Surya swar.
Draw five swastiks with your own hand, using kesar, on the main entrance; they become a permanent bandhanwar (toran).
If a kesar swastik's colour fades away, that place has more negativity. Treat the negativity of that spot.
