The Srimad Bhagavatam states that Lord Vishnu's avatar, or incarnation, would come to Earth at the conclusion of the Kaliyuga. Hinduism considers the following four yugas to exist: the Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali ages. As our calendar months revolve, so do these four cycles. The current era is referred to as the Kali Yuga, and it is predicted to endure for 432,000 years. It's estimated that 5000 years have already elapsed since the Battle of Kurukshetra. That indicates that 427,000 years remain, and the Srimad Bhagavatam states that Lord Kalki will manifest at the conclusion of the Kali-yuga.

Let us check out 7 unknown facts about Kalki, who is known to be the 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Kali Yuga. 

7 Unknown Facts About Kalki Avatar Of Lord Vishnu 

1. According to the legend, on the day of Shukla Paksha Sashti of Shravan month - the sixth lunar day of the Moon's brilliant fortnight in July and August, Lord Vishnu will arrive on Earth in the form of a Kalki avatar to drive out evil. But according to certain old Hindu texts, Kalki arrived "21 fortnights from Krishna's birth," while according to another, it happened "Margashirsha month, Krishna Ashtami, 8th day after the full moon."

2. Lord Vishnu's incarnation is described in great depth in the Shrimad Bhagwat Purana. Lord Kalki is described in the second chapter of the 12th wing. It is said that in the Sambhal village in the Moradabad region of Uttar Pradesh, Lord Kalki will be born as a son into the household of a Brahmin named Vishnuyasha. Riding on a horse or chariot named Devadatta, he will annihilate the sinners from the planet and resurrect the Sat Yuga.

3. Kalki is destined to receive intense instruction in both spirituality and combat, mostly from Lord Parashurama, Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation. He will become an expert in 64 art forms and learn how to read Vedic manuscripts. Kalki will be equipped with formidable tools, such as a supernatural sword, from Lord Shiva to help him accomplish his goal.

4. Kalki is going to take on a campaign of conquests in order to vanquish the forces of evil. He will face and vanquish formidable demons, such as Koka and Vikoka, who stand in for the vices that characterised the Kali Yuga.

6. Lord Kalki will have three brothers: Kavi, Prajna, and Sumantra. The Lord will marry two princesses, Padmavati and Ramaa, and have four children named Jaya, Vijaya, Meghamaala, and Balaahaka.
