Outdoor photograph on a bare dirt ground with scattered confetti and paper debris, smoke drifting near a wire fence and young trees. In the foreground a figure in orange sannyasi robes and an orange head wrap, with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, bends low over a small white block, lighting a firework. Two upright black fireworks stand on the ground to the left. Around them, several people in white clothing and one in a green sweater watch; a boy in a green jacket stands near the centre, and on the right a man in white with garlands and another in a checked shawl look on. A blue sign reading ASHRAM VEHICLES stands at the right edge.
