Saving muhurtas

After you have done a muhurta chart for someone in PL, you can now save that muhurta as an event so you can keep it with the same record. To save a Muhurta date, select the Edit menu, and select "Events". On the left side, you will see a list of all events for that chart. Select "Muhurta" from that list, and you will see the date, time and place for the muhurta on the right side.

To convert this Muhurta to a regular event, click on the "Save as event" button in the right bottom corner. You will be prompted to enter a name for this new event. For example, if the muhurta was for a wedding, you would save the muhurta as a new event called "Wedding", or "Wedding muhurta". This feature can also be used repeatedly to store various alternate muhurtas that are being considered. Once the final muhurta is selected, you can delete the ones that are not being used, by selecting such muhurtas and clicking the "Remove event" button.

Note that the "Save as event" button is only displayed when the muhurta event is selected. It serves no purpose for other events. Instead of storing alternate Muhurtas as events, you can also use the picklist on the Change time tool to store the list of Muhurtas:

- Make sure the Change time tool on the Muhurta worksheet has "Muhurta" selected at the top

- Add Muhurtas to the picklist by clicking the "Add to picklist" button at the bottom of the tool.

- Click on the picklist (which shows "Edit Date" when no date from the picklist was selected yet), and select any of the stored dates from the picklist to go back to that Muhurta.

Unlike prior versions of Parashara's Light, the picklist will be saved along with the birth and event data when you save the chart.
