Puppy Training Class Setup at Dawn in Gangtok

Pale dawn light slips across the polished floor of a jeweler's stall in Gangtok, illuminating a circle of orange traffic cones arranged for a puppy training class. Small treat pouches hang from the brass trays of the scale, their fabric soft against the cold metal. Condensation beads along the nearby glass window, blurring the winter morning outside. The room remains quiet before the opening, with the bright orange cones standing stark against the muted gray of the stone floor. Brass scales gleam in the low light, their weights resting still beside the colorful training equipment. One cone casts a long, soft shadow stretching toward the center of the ring.
