FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, slim or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

An ultra-real morning photograph on a red-oxide verandah, a wooden swing on chains still, banana leaves soft beyond. SKIN LAW: the subject keeps the exact natural skin tone of the reference - never blue, never tinted. She sits full-body on the swing in a mustard cotton saree with a green border, feet grounded, hands resting on the chains at shoulder width, fingers countable, a jasmine strand at her braid with the hairline exact. On the verandah floor beside the swing a small painted-idol figure of a butter-pot deity - DEITY LAW: the divine figure is painted and stylised - serene simplified features, blue-toned painted skin, never photoreal, never resembling the subject and never a second copy of the subject; the subject's face is the only real face in the image. - a plain brass pot beside it. GAZE: her eyes go down and to the small figure at her side, lids soft, both eyes open and visible, face three-quarter to the lens and fully readable. Expression: fond amusement, a soft laugh. Soft morning light from camera-right keys her face brightest with clear catchlights. True skin and cotton texture. 35mm, vertical 9:16. Only this one real person plus the painted figure. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.
