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, spacious langar hall at an imagined gurdwara on Guru Nanak Gurpurab; adult guests sit in neat rows on long floor mats (pangat) with steel thalis; simple vegetarian food; every adult in view has their head covered. Moment or Pose: the adult walks along the row doing seva, serving dal from a steel bucket with a ladle into a seated guest's steel thali; face clearly visible, a natural, humble moment, not a posed advert; hands, ladle and thali physically correct. Clothing: modest, comfortable clothes with sleeves suitable for serving, head neatly covered with a turban, patka or dupatta, clean hands. Light: soft daylight from high windows with warm ambient light and gentle reflections on steel. Camera: 35mm, f/4, eye level, medium shot showing the face and the serving action. Style: photorealistic documentary photography, authentic food texture, natural skin tone. 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 in the hall, children, dirty floors, spilled food, distorted utensils, alcohol or tobacco, celebrities, brands.
