Night photograph of a Deepavali celebration with a crowd gathered outdoors. On the right, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi smiles with arms spread, a probable Swamiji by the page cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads. Around him, people in white and orange clothes watch; a man in a white shirt crouches and a small boy in white holds a lit sparkler, sending bright sparks. A man at left in white shirt wears a dark mala. Behind them, a row of people in white and light saffron clothing stand in the dark.
