One of the incarnations of the god Vishnu in Hindu mythology. Also called Kalkin. In the last days of the world, when the authority of the scriptures is lost and the lifespan of humans is only 23 years, Vishnu appears as a person called Kalki, who will destroy evil and open up a new era. He is depicted riding a white horse with a drawn sword. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
