A blurred night photograph of a crowd at an outdoor celebration. In the centre, a woman in an orange-red sari holds a lit sparkler, its bright sparks streaking upward. Around her, people in white kurtas and dhotis and some in orange shawls stand close together on steps. In the foreground, a flat light-coloured surface holds scattered firecrackers, spent casings and small petals. A white wall behind has red and orange banners. Some figures are blurred from motion. Candidate identity is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.
