Muhurta (electional astrology)
Parashara’s Light offers several features that work together to make it very convenient to search for auspicious times. Because of the wide range of ways that people search for muhurtas, and the different criteria used for different kinds of events, the screens are designed to be highly configurable and to support many kinds of calculations. So let’s view the tools available to you.
Changing time
The change time tool allows you to easily and efficiently step through time in various intervals, such as days, hours, minutes, etc. Every time you step forward or backward, all the content on the screen updates. This allows you to very quickly inspect many charts in a short amount of time.
Picklists
While stepping through time, when you encounter a good chart, it is very handy to be able to add that time to a list, so you can revisit it later. The Muhurta picklist is such list, and you can add candidate times to this list, and revisit those later with a simple mouse click. Record a picklist of your best finds, and narrow it down later!
