Visuals: On a dark background, there is a globe of Earth rotating in white smoke. Suddenly, there is a hand-made white seed that comes from the globe, and red smoke appears. As the seed is moving down, the globe disappears. The seed stops moving, and suddenly it turns into a white silhouette. The silhouette partially becomes translucent, showing us the Hindu goddess Durga with a trident and the chakra. Finally we see the arched white text:

SHIVALIK FILMS

Trivia: The animation of earth rotating and the smoke is actually a cut from the opening credits from the film "Bhagwan Samaye Sansar Mein".

Technique: A combination of live action and traditional animation.

Audio: A typical Indian melody made by a flute until seed becomes a silhouette. From this moment until the text appears, there is a melody from a kind of Indian swarmandal. When the text appears, there is a dissonant, dramatic sting.

Availability: Seen only on "Ambe Maa Jagdambe Maa" and "Waliti Babu".
