This print by Gavin Hellier captures the essence of tradition and danger in one frame. The image showcases a skilled cobra snake charmer sitting outside the magnificent City Palace in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Dressed in traditional clothing, this senior musician holds a basket containing a mesmerizing Indian cobra, known for its deadly venom. The snake charmer's persuasion and control over the cobra is evident as he blows his instrument, creating enchanting music that complements the vibrant atmosphere of Rajasthan. This performance is not without risk, as the dangerous nature of these creatures adds an element of thrill to this ancient art form. The vertical composition emphasizes both the foreground focus on the charismatic senior man and his connection with the majestic cobra. The bright orange color palette further enhances their presence against the backdrop of Jaipur's architectural marvels.

This photograph serves as a visual testament to India's rich history and diverse traditions while also highlighting the harmonious relationship between humans and animals.
