Chaturyuga | चतुर्युग

Chaturyuga (Devanagari: चतुर्युग; ISO 15919: caturyuga) refers to the Cycle of Four Ages.

It represents one cycle of cosmic time, comprising four distinct eras that rotate in a specific order. The duration and virtue of each age decline in a mathematical ratio of 4:3:2:1, corresponding to the loss of the "Pillars of Dharma" (Truth, Mercy, Austerity and Benevolence).

At the end of Kaliyug God restores the world back to Satyug.
