Tretayug / Silver Age
Transition from Satyug to Tretayug is very gradual. It is not that one fine day suddenly the next yug will start. It is similar to how your new house becomes old gradually. There is no single day when you can decide that from that day your house will be old. It is a very very gradual process.This is also the phase that lasts for 1250 years. You can see it in this diagram. This period is also called the Heaven. Heaven is different from the Soul World (Paramdhaam). However, similar to the way there is a slight difference in a brand new house and a year old house, Tretayug is a bit lower in value than Satyug.
Satyug converts to Tretayug. Since Tretayug is a bit lower in value than Satyug, souls in this period are called 14 Kala Sampurna. However, everybody is still as pure.Every soul takes a birth of approximately 100 years long. Thus, every soul takes approximately 12 births in the Tretayug, playing the roles of 12 deities during these births.
Tretayug by its end has a population of 33 Crore deities. It is also a gaayan (saying) in Indian literature that there have been 33 Crore deities in India. This is what it refers to.Currency in this age is Silver. All actions performed by the souls here are neutral, because no Karmic Accounts are created.
Thus, by this time, 2500 years (i.e. half the Kalpa) has elapsed. The first half of the Kalpa is called Shivalay (formed by the Supreme Soul Shiva), Ram Rajya, or Heaven.
