Prompt

Use the attached image as facial reference. Preserve the model's exact face, skin tone, bone structure and features accurately throughout. 

A young woman sitting on the ledge of a Delhi rooftop at sunset wearing a sage green silk churidar kurta with delicate white chikankari embroidery — kurta slightly oversized, relaxed. One knee drawn up, one leg dangling off the ledge. Holding a cup of chai in both hands, looking out at the city skyline, not at camera. Expression: peaceful, contemplative, completely at ease. 

Mid shot — three-quarter body, relaxed composition. Camera at rooftop level, slightly to the side. City skyline and sunset visible behind and below. NOT perfectly symmetrical — intentionally candid framing. Golden hour sun setting directly ahead — warm amber-gold light on her face and the sage green silk, city haze diffusing the sun into a soft warm glow. Silhouetted water tanks and rooftop structures visible in the background. 

Color palette: sage green silk, warm amber golden hour, city haze blue-gold, white chikankari. Ultra-photorealistic, lifestyle editorial quality. 50mm, f/2.5, film grain. 4:5.
