Long lines of buyers in the shop before Christmas. He is inquiring about birthday cake business from the employees over the phone.

For many Kolkatans, a visit to Nahoum and Sons — the Jewish confectionery in the heart of New Market — on the brink of Christmas is an annual tradition. In the week before Christmas, the shop sees a stream of people, often coming from far away, queueing up outside its doors for hours for their festive fare. The queue often stretches all the way to the flower shops at the tail-end of the market.
