“Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.” (Stephenie Meyer, Twilight) ― Just A Street Shot
Hinduism
Twilight is sacred in Hinduism. It is called गोधूळिवेळ in Marathi or गोधूलिवेला godhūlivelā in Hindi—literally "cow dust time". Many rituals including Sandhyavandanam and Puja are performed at twilight hour. Eating of food is not advised during this time. Some times it is referred to as Asurasandhya vela. It is believed that Asuras are active during these hours. One of the avatars of Lord Vishnu, Narasimha is closely associated with Twilight period. According to Hindu Scriptures a daemonic king Hiranyakashipa performed penance and obtained a boon from Brahma not to be killed during days or night times and neither by human no animal. As Godhulivela is not regarded as day or night, lord Vishnu ended the life of Hiranakashipa during these hours.
Islam
Twilight is important in Islam as it determines when certain universally obligatory prayers are to be recited. Morning twilight is when morning prayers (Fajr) are done, while evening twilight is the time for evening prayers (Ishaa). In the month of Ramadan, Muslims are supposed to fast from the start of morning twilight until sunset, when they break it with the iftar.
