A Yuga Cycle is a cyclic age in Hindu cosmology. Each cycle lasts for 4,320,000 years and repeats four yugas : Krita 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 and 1,000 Yuga Cycles in a kalpa.
