The snake-charmer is a typical man of India. He does not stay at one place for a long time. He is a wanderer.

The profession of the snake-charmer is to catch and tame snakes. He takes out their fangs. He keeps them in a basket. He shows them at different places. Thus, he earns his living. He also sells medicines for snake-bite. He keeps some herbs.

The snake-charmer is a very interesting man. He can be recognized very easily. He puts on a peculiar dress. He wears a long kurta and dirty dhoti. He wears a loose turban on his head. He wears rings in his ears and brass or silver bangles on his wrists. He carries a gourd-flute in his hand. Across his shoulder there is a bamboo stick. From the two ends of this stick hang two baskets. The baskets are covered with cloth. In them he carries 'snakes.

The snake-charmer shows his snakes one by one. They are of different colours and sizes. He sometimes lets them creep on the ground. This makes the children run away, Sometimes he puts a snake round his neck, then he goes from man to man begging for some amount of money. He talks to the snakes and they seem to understand his hints.

Every snake-charmer says that he knows the mantra'> to bring a snake under his control. It does not seem to be true. Of course, he keeps some herbs with him which the snake fears and which makes it gentle. He also knows the art of catching snakes. He takes out the poisonous teeth of the snake. The cobra is really a dangerous snake but without teeth and poison bag, he can do no harm to anyone. I saw a snake-charmer who caught snakes and ate them. It was an ugly and hateful scene.

The snake-charmer also shows some tricks. He opens the basket. Then he touches one of the snakes. This makes the snake angry. It raises its hood. It begins to hiss. It glides towards him. This does not make the snake-charmer afraid. He picks it up and puts it round his neck. He then holds the head of the snake and opens its mouth. There are no fangs. They have already been taken out by him.

When the show is over, the snake-charmer goes to every man. He has a begging-bowl in his hand. People give him money, flour, bread and old clothes. He keeps all these things in one of his baskets. Soon after that he goes away.

 

The life of a snake-charmer is full of adventure and risk. His life is always in danger. When a snake-charmer fails to catch the snake at right time, the snake bites him and he dies. Thus the snake-charmer deserves our sympathy. He is a good source of recreation for children. His music is charming and attractive. Some snake-charmers have the knowledge of controlling snake-biting. Foreigners used to snap snake-charmer to disfigure the image of our country.
