I haven't seen others speculate on this, but in my opinion, the Kalki incarnation will be in Hinduism the double figure known as Harihara

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harihara

According to Upton:
>Kalki’s “heraldic” colors, will be red and white

And Guénon also speculates these colors if I remember correctly.

It is also interesting to note that while Shiva in this picture is displayed in blue skin, it is his Destructive aspect as Hara (Hara means Destroyer in Sanskrit) when he is Red and even the word Rudra (of which Hara is also a name of) shares certain etymological considerations with

Again, this is just my own symbological speculation, but this Harihara figures as Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer is also the ebodiment of Kalki as Shankaranarayana / Brahmanarayana

Shiva decipted here blue-skinned is a bit symbologically wrong, considering that in Rudra/Hara and his fierce manifestation of Shiva he is Red and this will be also Kalki's function. To destroy so that the Dharma may be preserved.

Greeting,
I am looking for book suggestions, I have a newfound interest in Hinduism. I currently own the Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita and Kama Sutra.
I would like to learn more about the history and spread of Hinduism(Russian Hindus for example) and specific Gods such as Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna and especially Harihara
