A traditional Indian sweet shop counter with a large, shallow steel tray filled with rows of glossy, bright orange jalebis arranged in neat circles. The tray sits on a glass display counter in the center of the frame. In the middle of the tray, one "jalebi" is actually a cobra coiled into a perfect round spiral, copying the swirled shape of the sweets around it. The cobra's scales are orange and glossy, matching the syrupy shine of the real jalebis. Its hood is raised flat and wide, with its head facing the viewer directly. Its two round eyes are wide open, staring forward, and its forked tongue sticks out slightly from its mouth. A shopkeeper wearing a white apron stands behind the counter in the background, leaning forward toward the tray. He is holding a pair of long steel tongs in his right hand, extended toward the cobra. His face is lowered close to the counter, with narrowed, suspicious eyes and one raised eyebrow. Warm yellow shop lighting shines from a ceiling lamp above, creating bright sparkles on the sticky syrup coating the jalebis. The background shows shelves of colorful sweet boxes, softly out of focus.
