Kabul Shadow Puppet Screen Lantern Light River Flowers

Amber firelight washes the interior of a Kabul shrine, illuminating a white shadow puppet screen positioned beside a cluster of river flowers. The warm glow highlights the rough texture of the paper screen and the delicate petals of the blooms arranged in a ceremonial tray. Wooden lanterns hang from the ceiling, casting long, steady shadows that stretch across the stone floor. The golden hour light falls through the open entrance, mixing with the flickering fire to create a vibrant, joyful atmosphere. A thin wisp of smoke rises from a small brazier near the base of the screen, catching the light in a soft haze. at the edge is the sharp edge of a shadow cast by a wooden puppet arm against the bright white backdrop.
