Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for both siblings. 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 balcony on a monsoon Raksha Bandhan morning in Lucknow, rain-washed potted plants, wet railings and soft grey sky behind. Moment or Pose: the sister ties a red-and-gold thread rakhi on her brother's right wrist while he watches with a quiet smile; beside them a brass aarti thali with roli (red tilak powder), a few grains of rice, a small lit diya and sweets; a fresh tilak already on the brother's forehead. Clothing: she wears a mustard kurta with a printed dupatta, he wears a sky-blue kurta. Light: diffused overcast daylight, the diya adding a small warm glow on their hands. Camera: 50mm, f/2.2, slightly above eye level, focus on faces with the tying hands clearly visible. Style: candid documentary family photography, gentle warm tones, natural skin texture. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed faces, romantic framing or posing, extra fingers or distorted hands, the rakhi on the wrong person, plastic skin, text or watermarks.
