A densely packed group of approximately 20-25 men and youths are observed in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The setting is an outdoor or semi-outdoor area, identified by light-colored walls, structural pillars, and a visible window with a grate pattern in the background. Natural light illuminates the scene. Subjects wear traditional Afghan clothing, including various styles of turbans (e.g., solid grey, striped grey, checkered white and black), pakol hats (brown, white), shalwar kameez, and waistcoats. Beards are prevalent among the adult males. A man positioned centrally, wearing a blue tunic and a grey striped turban, smiles towards the viewer. Another man directly to his right holds a clear plastic water bottle with a blue cap. Individuals are in various postures, including standing, crouching, and seated, indicating a congregation.
