Kalhoras

Kalhoras are a group of ancient, mythical creatures from various cultures and folklore. The term "Kalhora" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Kalki," which means "black," and "hora," meaning "hour." They are often depicted as large, serpentine beings with the ability to control time and space. In some traditions, Kalhoras are associated with the concept of the "hour of the serpent," a time of great transformation or destruction.

In Hindu mythology, Kalhoras are often depicted as the mount of the god Vishnu in his tenth avatar, Kalki. They are said to be the embodiment of time and destruction, and are believed to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga, the current age of the universe.

In some Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures, Kalhoras are seen as symbols of chaos and destruction, often associated with natural disasters and the end of the world. They are sometimes depicted as giant serpents or dragons, with the ability to swallow the sun, moon, and stars.

In other cultures, Kalhoras are seen as more benevolent beings, associated with the concept of rebirth and renewal. They are often depicted as guardians of sacred sites, or as protectors of the natural world.

Despite their varied appearances and associations, Kalhoras are a common motif in many cultures, reflecting the universal human fear and fascination with the concept of time and its passage. They serve as a reminder of the impermanence of all things, and the inevitability of change and transformation.
