The man kneeling at left wears a white dhoti and light shirt with a yellow shawl and holds a sparkler, sending bright sparks and smoke upward. The standing man at right wears a white dhoti and yellow shawl over a white top, with a small black bag across his shoulder, and holds a glowing sparkler. A fluorescent tube light is mounted above, and a red cloth is partly visible behind them.
