FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact two people in the attached photo - copy each face feature for feature, his facial hair as the reference, never swapping or averaging the two.

STYLE: a two-part keepsake stacked vertically with no border between the halves. TOP HALF: a clean real photograph. BOTTOM HALF: the same moment redrawn as a soft watercolour illustration on cream paper - looser, simplified, generous paper around it.

THE MOMENT, identical in both halves: They stand in a pillared stone corridor, a carved gopuram rising soft behind. She is in a magenta silk saree with a gold border and jhumkas, he in a cream kurta with sacred ash on the mid-forehead clear of the brows and hairline; Heads at clearly different heights, neither face overlapping. Her hand rests on a pillar at shoulder height, fingers countable.

FACE IN BOTH HALVES: in the photographic half the face is PHOTO-TRUE with real skin texture and clear catchlights. In the illustrated half it is simplified but drawn to the reference's exact proportions - same hairline, brow shape, eye size and spacing, nose, lips and jaw - unmistakably the same person, never a generic face. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts.

One text only: Temple Town in fine handwritten script beneath the illustration, spelled exactly T, e, m, p, l, e, space, T, o, w, n, with a small lotus flourish beside it, clear of every face and touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere.

CHECK: both faces must match their own reference in both halves.
