The duration of a Kalpa is 4.32 billion years. At the end of the Kalpa, a pralaya called Braahma-pralaya occurs. This is also called Naimittika pralaya or cosmic dissolution. In this pralaya, the three worlds- Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka, and Swarloka are completely destroyed. The occupants of Maharloka shift to Jana-Loka and live there till the beginning of the next Kalpa. At the beginning of the next Kalpa, the universe is created from Maharloka downwards. Padma Purana.Srishti Khanda.
Bhagavad Gita is called Smriti - Upanishad. It is a combination of both Smriti and Upanishad. Upnishads reveal the secrets of the universe. Smritis are rule books of religious life. Smritis do not give the reason behind a particular rule. The reason should be searched for in the Veda / Upanishad. Bhagavad Gita gives both the rule and its reason at one place. Hence it is called a Smriti - Upanishad.
