Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person.

Pose: seated on a low step, hands resting in the lap, looking just past the camera with a calm festive smile. Clothing: a deep red Banarasi silk saree with woven gold motifs, pallu draped over one shoulder, a gold choker and a few bangles; keep any bindi, glasses or nose pin only if they are in the photo. Light: warm flickering diya light from below and one side, soft blue ambient dusk light on the background. Style: festive editorial portrait, deep reds and golds, crisp fabric detail, fine film grain. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: changing the face or identity, skin lightening, extra fingers, extra diyas covering the face, text, logos, watermarks.

Good to know
