Create an ultra-realistic 8K cinematic portrait of a South Asian man celebrating Diwali. Use the uploaded photo as the facial reference. He is dressed in a festive white kurta with beige embroidery, styled with a confident smile and a red tilak on his forehead. His beard is neatly groomed, and his hair is short and clean.
Set the background in a vibrant Diwali setting inspired by traditional Mehndi and Haldi decor: multicolored triangular flags, hanging marigold garlands, sunflower accents, and glowing pink and orange curtains. Add floating petals, sparkler effects, and glowing diyas to enhance the festive mood. Include soft bokeh lights and warm ambient shadows for depth.
Above the subject, place a radiant diya with a golden flame. Below it, add the text “Happy Diwali – Festival of Light” in bold, glossy 3D lettering:
• “Happy Diwali” in rich gold with beveled edges and soft shadows
• “Festival of Light” in elegant white serif font beneath, centered and refined
