Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for exactly two adult people. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, age and height as closely as the model permits; match each person to the reference and never swap or blend faces. Scene: a decorated home balcony on Gurpurab night, warm string lights, marigold strings and clay diyas placed on a stable, non-flammable ledge; a quiet residential background, no named landmark. Moment or Pose: both adults stand close together, smiling naturally, lighting one diya together with a long matchstick; hands kept safely away from the flame; a calm family moment rather than a dramatic romantic pose. Clothing: modest festive outfits in ivory and deep maroon, realistic fabric folds. Light: warm diya glow on both faces, soft fairy-light bokeh, natural night ambience. Camera: 50mm, f/2.8, eye level, both adults fully in frame. Style: photorealistic lifestyle photography, natural skin texture. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, skin lightening, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks, hands in the flame, burning clothes, falling diyas, extra people, merged or swapped faces, Sikh Guru portraits or depictions, depictions of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Gurmukhi or any other writing, alcohol or tobacco, celebrities, brands.
