NOTE: This logo is not Nazi-related.

Logo: The logo starts with a closeup of a stylized Trishul against a blue wall. The camera zooms away from it, revealing the trident to be behind a silhouette of the swastika standing on top of some silhouetted text, which also appears to be sitting on top of a pedestal with two metallic candles on both sides. A light eventually illuminates the aforementioned elements, revealing the Trishul in a golden texture, the swastika in red, and the text being the company's name:

with "SHANKAR" being bigger than the rest. The pedestal appears to be black and is sitting on top of a table containing numerous multicolored petals and four coconut shells sitting against the pedestal.

Trivia: Even though it was adopted by the Nazis in the 1920s, the swastika originated in the late Paleolithic period (the oldest known archaeological record is from 10,000 BC in Mezine, modern Ukraine), and has appeared all across the world, especially in Asia, where it has been used by Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism from the 5th century BC up to today, usually meaning "good luck".

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: A man singing in Hindi accompanied by a tampura.

Availability: Seen only on Mard Ki Zabaan.
