An outdoor scene in Mandisar, Afghanistan, depicts a public gathering. In the foreground right, the back of a man's head and shoulders are visible, adorned with a large, multi-patterned turban in shades of grey and brown, worn over a dark vest and light shirt. Centrally, a man stands dressed in a dark uniform, including a tactical vest and cap, holding an AK-pattern rifle diagonally across his body with the muzzle oriented downwards. He has a dark beard. To his left, two men are seated; the leftmost wears a white head covering and shawl, and the adjacent man wears a light-colored turban and a light grey shawl. Both seated individuals have dark beards and appear to be observing the event. A large white banner with black script, identified as Pashto or Dari, is prominent in the background, displaying text including phrases related to "Deputy Ministry," "reduction of demand," and "treatment." A section of a light blue flag or banner is visible on the far left. The setting is illuminated by bright daylight.
