A young boy, wearing a light blue traditional shalwar kameez and a dark cap, is engaged in an activity involving a burning candle. He is carefully holding a small white object with his right hand, bringing it close to the flame of a candle contained within a clear glass mug. The candle features a layered appearance, with a lighter colored wax burning above a base of what looks like sand or pebbles. An adult's hand is partially visible on the left, also holding a small white object near the candle flame. On the white table in front of the boy are a clear jar with a lid and two blue and white striped paper cups. In the background, a large white banner displays the word "FAIR" in prominent blue and green letters, with "ARI SCIE" visible below, suggesting a science fair or an educational event. To the boy's right in the background, a miniature model resembling the Kaaba (a black cuboid structure) is visible on a shelf. The boy appears concentrated on his task. The scene is brightly lit, indicating an indoor setting during the daytime. The event is taking place in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
