Night photograph of a celebration outdoors on bare dirt ground with patches of grass. Fountain-like fireworks throw bright sparks and smoke upward on both sides of the frame. Several people in white clothing move through the smoke, including a figure in the center wearing white robes with a reddish cloth, and others standing at the right. At far right a person's arm in white sleeve reaches toward the scene, and a decorated umbrella or parasol with a colourful top is held above a group. The smoke and sparks obscure detailed faces.
