Outdoors on bare dry ground, a large cloud of white smoke rises from a firecracker burst near the centre-right. A crowd of people in white clothes stands along a white building with a green corrugated roof and red-framed open shelters. A few people wear orange or saffron garments, and some hold small items. Scattered debris and spent packaging lie on the ground, with trees and a sky with a few clouds behind.
