Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Belgian scholar Louis Varlez photographed these three snake charmers with their cobras near his hotel in Varanasi (Benares). Varlez added that the snake charmers performed their act in front of a group of freshly arrived tourists, climaxing with a fight to the death between a cobra and a mongoose - a fight that was won by the mongoose.

Collection of Louis Varlez. Photo by Louis Varlez, 15 February 1930.
