In Hindu cosmology, the longevity of the universe is 4.32 billion years.
This is divided into 1,000 yuga cycles or Chaturyugas.
Each yuga cycle is made up of four yugas: Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga, Dwapara-yuga, Kali-yuga.
Satya-yuga 17,28,000 years long, Treta-yuga is 12,96,000 years long, Dwapara-yuga is 8,64,000 years long and Kali-yuga is 4,32,000 years long.
We are now (2022 A.D.) in Kaliyuga.
The next yuga will be Satya yuga.
The best among the four yugas is Satya yuga also known as Krita yuga.
Each yuga cycle comprising of Satya-Treta-Dwapara-Kali yugas has a total duration of 43,20,000 years.
The total duration of each yuga is: Satya yuga - 17,28,000 years. Treta yuga - 12,96,000 years. Dwapara yuga - 8,64,000 years. Kali yuga - 4,32,000 years.
Each yuga has a dawning period called Yuga-sandhya and a dusk period called Yuga-sandhyamsha.
Based on this, each yuga is divided as follows:
