South Indian Gopuram

9:16 vertical traditional South Indian wedding invitation in the kovil-gopuram aesthetic. Ornate Dravidian temple tower silhouette framing the top of the composition — multi-tiered gopuram with carved deity sculptures in soft sandstone tones, golden kalashas at the peak, and a dawn-light halo behind the spire.

Border: intertwined banana stalks (vaazha-thandu) with cascading mango leaf toranam strung across the top, marigold (chendu malli) garlands draping down both sides, jasmine sprays in the corners. Subtle paisley + temple-bell motifs along the edges in deep maroon and antique gold.

Center medallion: a kolam (rice-flour mandala) in cream with intricate symmetric petals, framing the names.

Lower third: bride and groom illustrated in classical South Indian wedding attire — she in a Kanjeevaram silk saree with temple-border zari, traditional gold jewelry (jhumkas, kasu malai, oddiyanam), jasmine in her hair; he in a cream-and-gold veshti and angavastram, sandalwood tilak. Both seated on a brass-engraved platform with a small traditional oil lamp glowing between them.

Color palette: deep maroon, rich kanjeevaram red, antique gold, ivory cream, soft sandalwood brown.

Typography (elegant Tamil-and-English serif blend):
"Our hearts are full as we invite you to the wedding of"
