Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the one adult person. Preserve their recognisable face, natural skin tone, age and height as closely as the model permits; match the person to the reference. Scene: a home doorway with a small orange-and-white floral rangoli beside the threshold, marigold flowers and a clear stone ledge at Dhanteras dusk. Moment or Pose: the adult kneels beside the threshold, setting a clay diya on the ledge while holding only its cool base; keep the hand away from the flame and the face visible in three-quarter view. Clothing: a plain mustard kurta with fitted cuffs and cream trousers, simple festive clothing with sleeves and loose fabric kept away from the flame. Light: warm doorway light with a small diya glow and gentle blue-hour fill on the face. Camera: 50mm, f/2.8, camera at kneeling eye level, rangoli and hand readable. Style: quiet candid home photograph with natural skin texture and realistic flame size. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, skin lightening, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks, hands in the flame, burning clothes, celebrity likenesses.
Customise
For example: a small orange-and-white floral rangoli beside the threshold.
