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 clean outdoor walkway leading to an imagined gurdwara decorated with warm festive lights for Guru Nanak Gurpurab, a softly lit entrance and a deep-blue evening sky; not a recognisable real landmark; every visitor in view has their head covered.
Moment or Pose: the adult stands barefoot on the walkway with palms joined in front of the chest, a calm, gentle expression, face clearly visible; hands anatomically correct.
Clothing: modest traditional clothing in ivory, realistic fabric, head neatly covered with a turban, patka or dupatta.
Light: warm golden decorative lights mixed with natural evening blue, soft light on the face.
Camera: 50mm, f/2.8, eye level, softly blurred festive background.
Style: photorealistic, culturally respectful portrait, natural skin texture, no beauty filter.
Format: vertical 4:5.
Avoid: changed faces, skin lightening, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks, Sikh Guru portraits or depictions, depictions of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Gurmukhi or any other writing, uncovered heads, footwear on the walkway, alcohol or tobacco, children, celebrities, brands, duplicated people.
