A tall, slender minaret, primarily white with teal-green decorative stripes and accents, stands centrally in a cityscape located in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The minaret features a multi-tiered design: its apex is a tapering spire with stacked disc-like elements culminating in a prominent circular finial. Below this, an octagonal shaft transitions to a section with four open-sided supports. A distinctive, bulbous mid-section is present, followed by a lower octagonal section equipped with two dark, horn-shaped loudspeakers directed outwards and downwards. The minaret is surrounded by low-rise, multi-story buildings. To the left, a concrete building with two rectangular windows is visible, topped by a blue cylindrical water tank. To the right, additional structures with weathered facades and another blue cylindrical water tank on a rooftop are present. Dark green foliage from a tree or bush partially obscures a structure on the right side. A grey, angular rooftop occupies the immediate foreground. The sky above is clear and light blue, indicating daylight conditions. No people or animals are visible.
