This image captures a nighttime street market scene in Howrah, India, focused on a brightly lit vendor stall. The stall is constructed from a makeshift framework of poles, covered by tarpaulins, and illuminated by multiple exposed incandescent bulbs and string lights. Two adult males are visible. On the left, a man in a light blue long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers stands with a dark shoulder bag, facing leftward. In the center-right, a second man, wearing a dark sleeveless top and dark pants with flip-flops, is positioned with his back partially to the camera, actively arranging items on a raised display table. The stall primarily sells colorful decorative garlands and hanging ornaments. Numerous vertical garlands in shades of red, green, pink, yellow, and orange hang from the canopy structure. Other smaller, intricate hanging decorations are also suspended. The main display table features piles of merchandise, some enclosed in clear plastic bags, along with blue plastic bags containing unspecified items. A prominent feature on the right side of the table is a large, clear plastic bag filled with numerous small, spherical, light-colored objects, resembling puffed snacks. A white fabric sheet serves as a backdrop behind the merchandise. On the ground in front of the stall, two large white sacks are present; one appears partially deflated with yellow staining, the other is more regularly shaped. A brown stool or small barrel is situated near the man working at the stall. A portion of a bicycle wheel is visible on the far right, adjacent to the display. Overhead, a dense network of electrical wires crisscrosses. In the upper background, signage for "KHANA KHAZANA" (offering "Free Home Delivery & Parcel") and items like "CHOW MEIN" and "MASALA FRIED RICE" is legible, indicating adjacent or nearby food establishments. The ground is a stained, uneven asphalt or concrete surface.
