Festive Twilight Scene

A narrow street bathed in the warm amber glow of Diwali evening, every doorstep lined with tiny diyas flickering against cracked stone. The air carries a faint haze of smoke and the sweet scent of incense and burnt fireworks. Rangoli patterns bloom in chalky reds and yellows at the thresholds of old houses, their doors draped with fresh marigold garlands. Faint laughter and the crackle of distant firecrackers echo through the night, while a soft wind stirs the petals scattered along the ground. The scene feels hushed yet alive, captured in natural light that shifts between the golden pulse of lamps and the cool blue of twilight settling above.
