Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for both siblings. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, age and relative height as closely as the model permits; check each person against the reference. Scene: the front entrance of a home in Nagpur on Diwali afternoon, a half-finished round rangoli on the floor with bowls of pink, yellow, green and blue powder. Moment or Pose: both siblings kneel on either side of the rangoli, one filling a petal with powder, the other laughing and pointing at a wobbly line; both faces clearly visible. Clothing: a mustard kurta for the sister and a maroon kurta for the brother. Light: warm late-afternoon sun through the doorway, soft shadows. Camera: 35mm, f/2.8, from a slightly high angle so the rangoli shows. Style: candid, joyful family photograph, true colour. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, extra hands, colour covering faces, plastic skin, text, watermarks.
Customise
For example: Jaipur.
For example: a mustard kurta for the sister and a maroon kurta for the brother.
