Night outdoor scene at a Deepavali celebration: a man in white dhoti and shirt kneels on dirt ground lighting two large fountain fireworks that throw bright sparks upward. In the background, a deity murti sits on a palanquin under a decorated umbrella, garlanded with flowers, while white-clad attendants walk beside it and a ceremonial banner-bearer holds a pennant. A woman with a long dark ponytail in white clothing stands in the foreground watching.
