Yuga Cycle
A Yuga Cycle ( chatur yuga, maha yuga, etc.) is a cyclic age (epoch) in Hindu cosmology. Each cycle lasts for 4,320,000 years (12,000 divine years) and repeats four "yugas" (world ages): "Krita (Satya) Yuga", "Treta Yuga", "Dvapara Yuga", and "Kali Yuga".

As a "Yuga Cycle" progresses through the four "yugas", each "yuga's" length and humanity's general moral and physical state within each "yuga" decrease by one-fourth. "Kali Yuga", which lasts for 432,000 years, is believed to have started in 3102 BCE. Near the end of "Kali Yuga", when virtues are at their worst, a cataclysm and a re-establishment of "dharma" occur to usher in the next cycle's "Satya Yuga", prophesied to occur by Kalki.

There are 71 "Yuga Cycles" in a "manvantara" (age of Manu) and 1,000 "Yuga Cycles" in a "kalpa" (day of Brahma).
