appears under the monument in the color yellow.

 FX/SFX:  Pretty much a live-action shot edited with hand-drawn animation.

 Music/Sounds:  There are 2 music versions:


 * On the Tamil film Thayin Karunai (1965) and Rani Mera Naam (1972), a quiet melody with a sitar.
 * On Hifazat, A loud dramatic note that is abruptly used, after almost 5 seconds of silence.

 Availability:  Seen on Thayin Karunai, Rani Mera Naam and Hifazat.

 Editor's Note:  The god's hand throwing the "beam" at you is very surprising, along with that fanfare with the silence on it. Others may not be affected by this, and probably make them chuckle.
