Night photograph at AadiKailaasa, Bengaluru, of a crowd gathered in front of a white-walled temple building with a sign reading "Sri Anandeshwara Temple" above an open entrance lit from within. Several people in white and cream traditional clothing stand on a striped red-and-white platform in the foreground, some holding lit sparklers that leave bright streaks of light. A woman in an orange sari stands at the left, and a woman in white and yellow walks to the right. The ground is littered with spent firecracker debris and smoke hangs in the air. Banners with orange and red panels hang on the walls beside the entrance, and a blue bird logo appears in the upper left corner.
