Create one vertical 9:16 image: a festival photograph of the woman in the attached photo, standing in a glowing Durga Puja pandal in a classic white-and-red Bengali saree.

FACE MATCH - TOP PRIORITY: The attached photo is the identity source only. She is that exact woman, instantly recognisable, never a lookalike: same hairline, hair colour and texture, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, chin, cheek width, skin tone, any mole, freckle or scar in its exact place, and every facial proportion. Never beautify, slim, smooth or age the face; makeup sits on her own features without reshaping them. Take nothing else from the photo - not its light, expression, clothes, pose or background.

FRAME: Knees up, her figure filling most of the frame height; camera 2.5 metres away at chest height, 50mm lens.

SCENE: An ornate pandal interior with carved gold-and-red decorations, hanging marigold garlands and brass lamps; a large decorated Durga idol softly blurred far behind her, glowing in warm light; light haze of incense smoke. Nothing else.

WEARING: A white garad silk saree with a broad red border draped in Bengali style, red blouse with elbow sleeves; shankha-pola bangles (white and red) on both wrists, gold jhumkas, a small red bindi; hair in a low bun with a white jasmine gajra. Her own hairline and hair colour exactly as in the photo.

POSE: Body turned slightly to camera-left, face toward the lens; both hands holding a small brass diya with a lit flame at chest height, palms cupped beneath it, fingers natural.

GAZE: Eyes into the lens, a soft serene smile with lips gently parted.

LIGHT: Warm golden lamplight from camera-left as key, the diya adding a gentle glow under her chin; soft fill from the right keeping her true skin tone; her face the brightest, sharpest thing in frame, catchlight in each eye.

PHOTOGRAPH: A true photograph, not an illustration: natural skin texture, real silk weave, visible incense haze; never retouched smooth. Warm, rich festival tones.

TEXT: No text, logo or watermark anywhere.

FINAL CHECK: The face is the exact woman in the attached photo. One intact adult body, hands exactly as described. Vertical 9:16, no text.
