Outdoors on bare dry ground at dusk, a cluster of people in white dhotis and white kurtas watch a fireworks display; a bright spray of sparks and smoke rises at left from a burning firecracker. In the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a matching orange head covering and long rudraksha mala necklaces walks forward holding a lit sparkler or firecracker in one hand. Other devotees in white stand around, one child in blue is near the smoke, and trees and a hill fade into haze behind. A purple circular logo appears at the upper right.
