(1985)


Logo: On a dark background with two candles on both sides, a white Om symbol in the middle fades in and zooms into the screen (a la Viacom V of Doom) until it gets close, which then fades out. This repeats about three times and as the 3rd Om symbol appears, a light slowly illuminates the background, which appears to be an altar of 2 pictures of hindu saints, which also appears to be on top of a table. The company name doesn't appear.

Technique: The zoom in/fading of the Om symbol, and the illumination of the statue.

Music/Sounds: A tampura rolling with a repetitive harp tune, a woman chanting as the symbol appears, which again, repeats three times, and strums of a lyre when the statue is fully exposed.

Availability: Only seen on the Marathi film Vahinichi Maya.

Legacy: The zooming in of the Om symbol and the ominous theme could possibly freak out some viewers.
