In the Cyclic Concept Of Time (''Puranic Kalpa''), ''[[Kali Yuga]]'' is estimated to last 432,000 years. In some Vaishnava texts, Kalki is foretold to appear on a white horse on the day of ''pralaya'' to end ''Kali Yuga'', to end the evil and wickedness, and to recreate the world anew along with A New Cycle Of Time ([[Yuga Cycle|Yuga]]).<ref name=coulter2013>{{cite book |first1=Charles Russell |last1=Coulter |first2=Patricia |last2=Turner |year=2013 |title=Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781135963972 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VWxekbhM1yEC}}</ref><ref name="Oxford University Press">{{cite book|title=The Oxford Handbook of New Religious Movements, Volume 2|author1=James R.

Kalki's description varies with manuscripts. Some state Kalki will be born to Awejsirdenee and Bishenjun,<ref name=coulter2013/> others in the family of Sumati and Vishnuyasha.<ref name="emperor"/>{{sfn|Rocher|1986|p=183}} In Buddhist manuscripts, Vishnuyasha is stated to be a prominent headman of the village called [[Shambhala]]. He will become the king, a "Turner Of The Wheel", and one who triumphs. He will eliminate all barbarians and robbers, end ''adharma'', restart ''dharma'', and save the good people.<ref name="incarnation">{{cite book |first=J.A.B. |last=van&nbsp;Buitenen |year=1987 |title=The Mahabharata |at=Volume&nbsp;2, Book&nbsp;2, pages&nbsp;597–598 |publisher=University of Chicago Press |isbn=9780226223681 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GfhJCgAAQBAJ}}</ref> After that, humanity will be transformed and the golden age will begin state the Hindu manuscripts.<ref name="incarnation"/>

In the Kanchipuram temple, two relief Puranic panels depict Kalki, one relating to lunar (moon-based) dynasty as mother of Kalki and another to solar (sun-based) dynasty as father of Kalki.<ref name="emperor"/> In these panels, states D.D.&nbsp;Hudson, the story depicted is in terms of Kalki fighting and defeating asura [[Kali (demon)|Kali]]. He rides a white horse called Devadatta, ends evil, purifies everyone's minds and consciousness, and heralds the start of [[Satya Yuga]].<ref name="emperor">{{cite book |first=D.
