What is Kalpa?

=> Kalpa is a Sanskrit word that has two very different meanings. In one sense, it translates as “eon,” or a period of time; in the other sense, it translates as “ritual.”

In Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, kalpa refers to the period of time between the creation and dissolution/recreation of the universe. The length of a kalpa varies by tradition. In the "Puranas," it is described as 4.32 billion years, while Buddhism cites four kalpas of different lengths, from roughly 16 million years to about 1.28 trillion years.
