Kalki is prophesied to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga, the current age in the cycle of Yugas, when dharma has significantly declined and dharma prevails.

The Kalki Puran is significant because it offers a vision of future redemption and restoration of cosmic balance. It reinforces the belief in the cyclical nature of time and the divine promise of intervention to correct moral and spiritual decline.

Kalki’s role as a future savior who restores righteousness shares similarities with prophetic figures in other religions who are believed to come at the end of times to restore order and justice, such as the Messiah in Christianity or the Mahdi in Islam

Kalki Puran describes Kaliyuga as an age of darkness where morality declines, greed and corruption dominate, and human values erode. As Kaliyuga peaks, the world will be plagued by conflict, injustice, and widespread suffering. Kalki will descend to the Earth, defeat the evil forces causing this turmoil, and cleanse the world, ending Kaliyuga and beginning a new era of purity and dharma.

The Kalki Puran is closely related to the concept of Yugas in Hinduism, as it focuses on the final phase of the Kali Yuga and the transition to the Satya Yuga. It presents the idea that each Yuga has a specific nature, and with the end of one age, a new one begins with the arrival of Kalki, who will restore harmony and order in the universe.
