Chara Dasha is the flagship Jaimini rasi (sign-based) dasha. Unlike the planet-based Vimshottari, it progresses through signs and is prized for timing major life events with the Jaimini system.
Chara Dasha is a sign-based (rasi) dasha from the Jaimini system; Vimshottari is nakshatra/planet-based. Chara is read with Jaimini karakas and arudhas for event timing.
