Dvapara Yuga
Dvapara Yuga (IAST: Dvāpara-yuga), in Hinduism, is the third and third-best of the four yugas (world ages) in a Yuga Cycle, preceded by Treta Yuga and followed by Kali Yuga.[1][2] Dvapara Yuga lasts for 864,000 years (2,400 divine years).[3][4][5]
According to the Puranas, this yuga ended when Krishna returned to his eternal abode of Vaikuntha.[6] There are only two pillars of religion during the Dvapara Yuga: compassion and truthfulness. Vishnu assumes the colour yellow and the Vedas are categorized into four parts: Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. [citation needed]
