How this wheel is built

The chakra holds 2,041 events in strict chronological order, clockwise from the opening of the present kalpa to the foretold return of Satya Yuga, where the wheel closes on itself. Each ring carries one kind of event. Spacing is by sequence, not by years, so that crowded centuries stay readable.

Three kinds of date are kept apart. Plain years are historically attested. Years marked “c.” are scholarly estimates, often with a wide range noted in the description. Dates marked “traditional” follow Purāṇic, Siddhāntic or sampradāya reckoning — for example Kali Yuga from 3102 BCE, or Ādi Śaṅkara at 788–820 CE — and are shown as the tradition gives them, with the scholarly view stated alongside where the two differ.

Events of the Itihāsas and Purāṇas are placed by their traditional yuga, not asserted as dated history. Everything after 2026 is prophecy from the Bhāgavata, Viṣṇu, Brahmavaivarta and Kalki Purāṇas, or a scheduled observance, and is labelled so.

Names follow IAST transliteration. Images load from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons and link to their source pages for credit and licence. This is a living reference: if you find a date or attribution that needs correcting, tell Tryambak Media and it will be fixed.
