Sandhya

Sandhya

संध्य, saṃdhya

A transitional time of day – dawn, noon, twilight – in which proper practices and rituals are performed (in Brahmanism). Tantrics have 4 sandhyas – midnight is added. In the yogic tradition, morning and evening sandhya are considered favorable for practice, that is, such periods at the junction of day and night, in which the moon and sun connect.
