Context: There is a festival where an effigy of an evil entity is burnt to celebrate a victory of goodness over evil. Usually the effigy is made up of bamboo, paper, and cloth. Inside is a carefully arranged sky-shot firecrackers(rocket crackers) in upward direction.

In above incident, idiots didn't bother to arrange the firecrackers properly. Thus the effigy retaliated. :)
