Current Mahadasha (Dasha Bar)
A quick visual summary, right below your chart, of which planet's major Dasha period (Mahadasha) is running in your life right now — the segmented bar shows all Mahadasha periods across your lifetime, sized proportionally by each planet's classical number of years.
In practice
For a fuller breakdown down to the day (including the sub-periods within the current Mahadasha), see the "Dasha Detail" tab — this bar is just the at-a-glance summary.
How it's calculated
See the Vimshottari Dasha entry below for the full calculation method — this bar visualizes the same 120-year cycle.
