Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for both people. Preserve both people's recognisable faces, natural skin tones and relative heights as closely as the model permits; check each person against the reference. Scene: a home rooftop in Jaipur on Karwa Chauth night, fairy lights on the parapet, a decorated puja thali with a small diya, a karwa pot and sweets on a low stool, a full bright moon rising low over the rooftops. Moment or Pose: the wife holds a decorated steel sieve at face height and looks through it toward the husband, who smiles back holding a glass of water ready to break her fast; both faces clearly visible, not hidden behind the sieve. Clothing: a red silk saree with gold border and a small bindi for her with mehendi on her hands; a cream kurta with a maroon Nehru jacket for him. Light: warm diya and fairy-light glow on faces, cool moonlight on the background, gentle contrast. Camera: 85mm, f/2, eye level, the moon softly out of focus between them. Style: intimate candid festival photograph, rich reds and golds, natural skin texture. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, sieve covering the face, extra hands or fingers, two moons, plastic skin, text, watermarks.

How to use this prompt
- This prompt changes your own photo. Choose a clear reference photo, and get permission from people who can be identified.
- Upload the photo in the external AI app you chose. Fill Customise, press Copy prompt and paste the prompt with the photo.

Good to know
- The sieve mesh can blur the face behind it; the prompt keeps faces visible, but regenerate if likeness drops. The moon may come out larger than real life.
- Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
