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 devotional portrait: amber temple-lamp bokeh far behind her, every flame well below her face and a step dimmer. SKIN LAW: the subject keeps the exact natural skin tone of the reference - never blue, never tinted - the devotional look lives only in the adornments, wardrobe and setting. She wears an emerald silk lehenga with gold zari, layered temple gold, a jasmine-and-marigold crown set BEHIND the front hairline so the hairline stays visible and exact, the maang tikka chain along the parting, its small pendant on the forehead just below the hairline, the hairline itself fully visible and unchanged. One hand holds a single peacock feather upright beside her shoulder, never crossing her face, fingers countable; the other hand rests on the dupatta at her chest, fingers countable. GAZE: eyes straight on the lens, calm. Expression: temple-morning serenity, a soft closed smile, clear catchlights. A near temple lamp off-frame camera-left, in front of her, keys her face brightest; the bokeh flames behind stay a step dimmer. True skin and silk texture. 50mm, waist-up, vertical 4:5. Only this one person. 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.
