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

THE MOMENT: Diwali evening at home. She stands in a relaxed, graceful pose, body turned slightly three-quarter, holding a lit sparkler in each hand at waist height - one hand in front of her, the other slightly out to the side - both sparklers bursting into crisp starbursts of golden-white sparks with fine crackling filaments. She looks straight into the camera with a warm, gentle smile, teeth softly showing, both eyes bright with tiny sparkle catchlights. Natural, homely, joyful - never stiff.

WARDROBE: a rich deep-maroon Kanjivaram silk saree with a subtle sheen and a fine gold zari border, the pleated pallu draped neatly over her left shoulder and falling across her front. A contrasting antique-gold silk blouse with elbow-length sleeves. Hair in a long, loose side braid brought over her right shoulder, with soft face-framing strands and a full string of fresh white jasmine flowers (malli poo) pinned along the braid. Small gold jhumkas, a thin gold necklace, a few gold bangles, a small maroon bindi. Natural, minimal makeup.

THE WORLD: a bright modern home interior - a softly blurred kitchen and living area with clean white countertops, warm wooden cabinets and a large window behind her glowing with soft cool evening daylight. A few brass diyas glowing on the counter in the background. Tiny floating sparks and glowing embers drifting in the air around her hands.

LIGHT: soft cool daylight from the window behind giving a gentle rim on her hair and shoulders; the sparklers add warm golden light from below onto her face, saree and jasmine; a soft frontal fill so her face is the brightest, clearest point in the frame. The silk saree catches warm sparkle highlights along its folds and zari border. Her face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, colour and softness - never a pasted studio face.

LOOK: true photograph, warm festive lifestyle portrait, creamy shallow depth of field, cool background with warm subject for a beautiful contrast, sparks crisp near the sparklers with soft golden bokeh further out, real skin texture, fine grain. 85mm, framed from the waist up so her face, jasmine and both sparklers sit comfortably in the frame. Vertical 9:16. Only this one woman. No text anywhere.

FINAL CHECK: the face must match the attached reference exactly - if any feature differs, it is wrong; both hands hold the sparklers naturally with correct fingers; sparks never cover her face; the jasmine string is clearly visible in her braid; no text anywhere.
