The image depicts a crowded outdoor public gathering in Tudun Murtala, Kano, Nigeria, with a visible building sign reading "ALHERI KOKAI" in the background. The ground is dry and earthen. In the foreground, a group of approximately eight young males, likely in their late teens to early twenties, are seated on a green mat. They are uniformly dressed in white long-sleeved robes, each with a dark blue stole draped around the neck and shoulders, and wearing a distinct, patterned cylindrical cap. Several individuals have blue-covered rectangular objects, appearing to be books or certificates, with a yellow and white emblem and Arabic text (partially legible as "الإسلامي لتحفيظ" and "معهد التأهيل," indicating an Islamic Institute for Quran Memorization/Qualification) placed in front of them. A plastic water bottle and a clear plastic bag are on the ground near these individuals. To the left, a man wearing a dark shirt and a beige and black baseball cap is seated, looking down at a mobile phone he holds. A pair of dark slip-on shoes are positioned near him. In the midground, behind the seated males, a line of women is visible, many wearing white head coverings, with some also wearing dark face veils. Further back, a dense, standing crowd of numerous individuals is present, comprising men, women, and children of various ages. Attire in the standing crowd includes traditional caps and robes, as well as modern clothing. Two individuals in dark uniforms, one with a blue beret and another with a badge on his sleeve and a visible holster, are discernible within the crowd, possibly indicating security personnel. A man in a light green tunic holds a phone to his ear in the upper-left midground. Two young boys in brown shirts are visible among the standing adults. The background shows a building structure with a prominent sign featuring the text "ALHERI KOKAI" and additional, less legible text. A partial view of a light blue balloon is visible on the far left. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
