White smoke + bells.
Third vote was the charm.

I love these kinds of rituals and the white smoke signals. Its so.. grand and ceremonial. One of the reasons I feel like I relate to catholicism more than other denominations is because a lot of catholic ceremonies remind me of hindu ceremonies, the ornate cathedrals have the same exquisiteness (although very different style) as a lot of the big temples.
