In
Hindu cosmology the universe is cyclically created and destroyed in the timespan of 311.04 trillion years. Deeply rooted in Hindu literature including
Vedas and
Puranas, it is believed time is divided into four epochs or Yuga, of which we occupy the
final. In roughly 432,000 years the final Avatar
Kalki will
end time.
Shiva destroys all this existence while
creating a new existence. Time
starts over.
