.png)
Visuals: There is an ancient lamp inside a circular emblem outline being illuminated by several lightning strikes.

Then, the camera zooms very slowly to the lamp.
Closing variant: The camera zooms out slowly from the lamp with a male announcer heard in the variant.
Technique: Practical effects with live-action for the flames.
Audio: The sounds of thunder, a male voice-over singing in Sanskrit, with an ominous tanpura note held throughout, and sounds with a wind instrument.
Availability: Appears only on Pitchi Pullaiah. A print version of this logo appears on the poster of Todu Dongalu.
Legacy: It was often classified as one of the scariest Indian logos among the community for its dark atmosphere and ominous audio. However, this is seen as normal in its home country, since countries around the world have different cultures.
