Night photo of a fireworks display bursting above a crowd with sparks, smoke and bright glowing trails against a dark sky. At right stands a large vertical banner portrait of a figure in a red turban and red-orange robes, wearing a green-and-white floral garland, hands raised in greeting with a flowing sprinkle of water. A bright floodlight on a pole glows at left, and dark silhouettes of spectators appear at the bottom edge. A depiction on a banner, shown as a printed portrait rather than a physical person, is visible among the crowd.
