Couple's Festival Keepsake

Facial likeness comes first. Use the attached couple photo only to identify the same two adults, the exact man and the exact woman. Preserve each person's hairline, haircut, hair texture and colour, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, jaw, chin, age, skin tone, distinguishing marks and existing facial hair or its absence. Do not swap, merge, beautify, slim or replace their faces. The reference is an identity source, not a pose or setting template.

Create one finished vertical 9:16 two-panel keepsake. The upper 52 percent is a full-width real photograph; the lower 48 percent is its designed paper-art companion, joined by a clean horizontal seam. Fill the canvas: no black screenshot margins, letterboxing, phone interface or extra panels. There are exactly two people in each panel: the same couple appears once above and once below, four depictions of only two identities.

In the upper photograph: A bright home veranda before a family festival has muted green shutters, a small marigold garland along one distant doorway and a neat white geometric rangoli near the floor. This is the private moment before leaving, with no temple crowd, stage or religious figure in the frame. He wears a muted gold silk-cotton kurta and ivory trousers. She wears a deep maroon cotton-silk saree with a narrow gold border and a fitted matching blouse, with modest earrings and bangles. Preserve her own reference hairstyle rather than inventing a bridal makeover. He stands on the viewer's right with his right forearm bent across his lower torso, palm relaxed downward. His left hand supports a small closed unmarked sweet box at the left hip. She stands on the viewer's left, using her left hand beneath his right wrist for support and her right thumb and index finger to straighten the kurta cuff edge. Her other right fingers stay naturally together; the action happens below both chests. Frame from the hips upward with a 70mm perspective, keeping every hand and the cuff visible. Both lift their faces toward one another with near-frontal three-quarter smiles, not downward heads that hide their eyes. Open-veranda daylight falls broadly across both faces, with soft neutral fill. Silk catches restrained highlights without golden colour grading over skin. Preserve true skin texture, real fabric weight, sharp eyes and natural adult body proportions. Keep the important gesture fully inside this panel rather than cutting hands at the seam.

In the lower panel, use precise ink portrait drawing with maroon and muted-gold watercolor clothing, retaining realistic adult faces and natural smiles on light warm-white handmade paper. Repeat the precise photographed moment: same left-right positions, face angles, expressions, clothes, hand ownership and props. Do not mirror the couple or invent a second pose. Keep them large in the centre and lower portion, with clean side spaces for lettering; simplify the background instead of reducing the people to tiny figures. Translate texture into drawing, never facial anatomy: no anime eyes, baby faces, generic illustrated lovers or changed skin tone. A small rangoli-dot motif sits below the couple, with a tiny sweet-box outline and two restrained marigold sketches at the outer corners. One small heart is tucked into the border motif, not floating across their faces.

Letter only the lower panel, using legible dark maroon-brown handwriting with open letterforms and restrained flourishes. In the empty left area, print these exact lines from top to bottom: "For every" then "celebration,". In the empty right area, print these exact lines from top to bottom: "my favourite" then "plus-one.". Quotation marks are instructions, not printed characters. Preserve spelling, punctuation and line order; render each caption once, large enough to read on a phone. Text and doodles must not overlap faces, hair, hands or each other. Leave comfortable outer margins; keep the photograph free of lettering.

Each person has two anatomically plausible arms and hands within each panel; fingers and touching limbs remain distinct, and cropped anatomy continues naturally. Add no bystanders, reflected people, extra limbs, speech bubbles, extra captions, logos, watermarks, dates, numbers or unrelated writing. Match both identities between panels before adding ornament; reduce doodles, never likeness or caption readability, when space is tight.
