Night photo of a Deepavali celebration outdoors under strings of multicoloured fairy lights. A man in a brown-maroon robe with a matching brown turban-style cap and a white-and-multicolour flower garland stands smiling and holding a lit sparkler. Next to him a woman in a maroon sari with a beaded necklace holds a sparkler, and another woman in an orange-gold bordered sari stands at right. Behind them a crowd of onlookers gathers near a table and a red armchair. Sparks and smoke rise from the ground at the bottom of the frame, and a firecracker box is visible at left. The man has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a brown shawl, which are consistent cues for a person, though this is appearance-based only.
