After the room and tanpura are both fully shown, multi-colored flowers appear below the sitar one-by-one, and after the 8th flower appears, it cuts to the same shot except light can be seen shining on the tanpura, more flowers can be seen underneath and there is the a red wall containing the company's name in Bengali and red. Faint smoke can be seen beneath the flowers.
