Are there scarier fireworks than this?

I just wanted to share my experiences at the recent Thrissur Puram (Thrissur being my home town in Kerala, India, and 'puram' meaning 'festival'). Imagine 50 or more elephants, a 100,000 people and earth-shattering fireworks rolled into a 24 hour period. It's one of the things that make my home town unique.
An image to get you started:
Here's a video of the last two minutes of fireworks. It's scary, so don't say I didn't warn you:

I did a photo-documentation (fancy word for snap-shooting) of the entire event, and I've blogged about it. Please feel free to take a peek at my part of the world:

That's just like 4th of July in the US. Except with elephants. And really, really dangerous fireworks! Thanks, that was pretty intense.
Nice set of very informative photos & videos.

….and the audio, with the aid of a reasonable sub-woofer is………..impressive!

Thanks for watching. The second one was closer and even scarier. My wife got so scared she stopped recording and went into a shell.
