What is a dasha?
A dasha is a traditional planetary timing period. Electional starts with Vimshottari dasha and shows the active period as context inside the full chart.

Method notes
Fast result, explicit caveats
Vimshottari timing is keyed from the sidereal Moon nakshatra.
Dasha periods are timing context, not deterministic event claims.
The scored report connects dasha lords to houses, karakas, vargas, and current confirmations.
FAQ
Vimshottari Dasha Calculator questions
Why does this need exact birth time?
Exact birth data anchors the Moon nakshatra and the surrounding chart evidence used by the Vedic report.
Is the dasha result sidereal or tropical?
The dasha clock is keyed from the Lahiri sidereal Moon nakshatra. The default scored reading still keeps tropical Vedic rashi and varga logic separate.
