"In the nightfall of a late spring evening, as the sun plunges beneath the skyline, a scene unfurls in the metropolitan horizon that both dazzles and concerns: an explosion of energetic tones against a material of dimness. The entrancing showcase of firecrackers, a revered custom celebrated across the globe, summons a feeling of marvel and party.
