Mahayuga Kalpa
Every question on the site tagged Mahayuga Kalpa, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
The Puranic cosmic time scale: 1,000 Mahayugas make one daytime of Brahma (and an equal span His night), 30 such days a cosmic month, 12 months a cosmic year, and 100 cosmic years — one Kalpa — Brahma's full lifespan, with Vishnu's and Rudra's own day-night cycles nested at a still vaster scale above that.

What cosmic time scale does the Shiv Puran describe (Mahayuga and Kalpa)?
1,000 Mahayugas make one daytime of Brahma (and an equal span His night); 30 such days form a cosmic month, 12 months a cosmic year, and 100 cosmic years — a Kalpa — is Brahma's full lifespan, with Vishnu's and Rudra's own day-night cycles nested at a still vaster scale.
