Jonaklit is a one word description of a short-duration phenomenon. A place lit beautifully by thousands of flickering lights emanating from fireflies or lightning bugs. It usually happens during a twilight near marshy areas. Appearance of colors varies from mostly yellow, green, pale red, and a little hint of bluish here and there. It is more frequently visible in temperate or tropical climates.

Jonaklit is a combination of two words. 1st word - JONAK is an abbreviation of a proper word JONAKI derived from Bangla or Bengali language, meaning fireflies or lightning bugs. 2nd word - LIT (abbreviation of light, self explanatory).
The sky was dark. The only light was the enchanting flickering of tiny lights emanating from thousands of fireflies all around us. It was breathtaking, it was magical. Simply, one of the most beautiful and memorable jonaklit twilight I have ever witnessed.
