Maharloka, Heaven Of Gods
In Hindu mythology it is said that Maharloka is the heaven of gods.

As per Hindu mythology, Maharloka is the paradise of the celestial spirits. This is the sphere of saints located at the distance of ten million leagues above Dhruva. Dhruva is the place in where the inhabitants reside in it throughout a Kalpa or day of Brahma. The inhabitants who are distinguished for their piousness are taken to Maharloka along with the Pitris, the Manus, the seven Rishis and the gods.

In the end of Kalpa when the heat of the flames that destroy the world reaches to Maharloka and the inhabitants descend to Janaloka. They are of subtle forms, destined to become re-embodied, in similar capacities as their former, when the world is renewed at the beginning of the succeeding Kalpa. All this forms continues throughout the life of Brahma.

At the expiration of Brahma`s life all beings are destroyed except those who have thus attained a residence in the Brahmaloka. The residents of Brahmaloka recognized themselves in spirit with the Supreme are finally resolved into the sole existing Brahma.
