In Brahma mythology, Brahma’s lifespan is described on a vast cosmic timescale.
Here’s the traditional breakdown:
1 Mahayuga = 4.32 million human years
1 Day of Brahma (Kalpa) = 1,000 Mahayugas
= 4.32 billion human years
1 Night of Brahma = another 4.32 billion years
So:
1 full day + night of Brahma = 8.64 billion human years
Then:
1 Year of Brahma = 360 such days
Brahma lives for 100 Brahma years
That total comes to:
100 \times 360 \times 8.64\text{ billion years} = 311.04\text{ trillion human years}
So according to Hindu cosmology, Brahma’s full lifespan is:
311.04 trillion human years
At the end of Brahma’s life, the universe is said to dissolve in a great cosmic dissolution called Mahapralaya before creation begins again.
