Kali Yuga
Kali Yuga (Devanagari: कलियुग), in Hinduism, is the fourth, shortest and worst of the four yugas (world ages) in a Yuga cycle, preceded by Dvapara Yuga and followed by the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga. It is believed to be the present age, which is full of conflict and sin.
According to Puranic sources, Krishna's death marked the end of Dvapara Yuga and the start of Kali Yuga, at midnight 17/18 February 3102 BCE (Julian), or 22/23 January (Gregorian). Lasting 432,000 years (1,200 divine years), Kali Yuga began 5,127 years ago and has 426,873 years left as of 2026 CE, ending in 428,899 CE.
Near the end of Kali Yuga, when vices are at their worst, a cataclysm will reestablish dharma to usher in the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga, as prophesied by Kalki.
