The image captures a group of men gathered on the brick steps leading to the arched entrance of the Shrine of the Cloak (Kherqa Sharif Shrine) in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The building's facade consists of patterned light brown brickwork surrounding a wooden double door with an arched transom window above, through which a clear blue sky is visible. In the foreground, on the left, a tall, bearded man stands wearing a grey shalwar kameez, a dark waistcoat, and a dark head covering. He holds a black assault rifle in his right hand, pointed towards the ground, equipped with an optic, a foregrip, and a muzzle device. Immediately to his right and slightly behind him, another bearded man in a dark shalwar kameez and a black and white patterned scarf wears sunglasses. Further right, a bearded man in a dark suit jacket over a light blue shalwar kameez looks towards the left. On the far right, partially visible from behind, are two individuals: one wearing a dark shalwar kameez and a maroon cap, and another in a light-colored, possibly white, garment. Several other figures are visible through the doorway and on the steps in the background.
