Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for
aesthetic and culture, and religious purposes. A fireworks event (also
called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects
produced by firework devices.
Fireworks take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise,
light, smoke and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be
designed to burn with flames and sparks of many colours, typically red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common
throughout the world and are the focal point of many cultural and
religious celebrations.
And so to usher in the new year, the effect of fireworks was felt world over.
