# Diwali Tanjore Painting Gold Foil Portrait AI Photo Prompt

> Become the subject of an original Tanjore-style painting with raised gold foil and gem stones. Upload your photo to Gemini or ChatGPT.

## Prompt

```text
Keep the person's face, features, skin tone and expression exactly as in the uploaded photo, so friends recognise them instantly; change only clothing, styling, setting and light. Create a Thanjavur-style painting on a wooden board: the person seated frontally in rich South Indian festive dress, with layered gold jewellery rendered in raised gesso relief covered in real-looking gold foil, inset with red and green glass stones. Holding a lit brass lamp, framed by an ornate arch of gold pillars and a curtain swag. Flat bright background in deep red and green, rounded soft shading on the face. The face keeps the exact features and skin tone of the uploaded photo, not a god-like idealisation. Visible texture of the board, slight crackle. No deity imagery, no text. Aspect ratio 9:16.
```

## Variants

### For men

```text
Paint him in a silk veshti and angavastram with gold relief jewellery under the arch.
```

### Couple

```text
Paint the couple seated together under one gold arch, each holding a lamp.
```

## Tips

- Say "not idealised" so the face stays yours.
- Raised gold relief makes it look like the real art form.
