Happy Pongal - Gemini Prompts

Transform this man into an ultra-realistic festive South Indian portrait of a handsome young Indian man standing outdoors during a Pongal celebration, holding a traditional clay Pongal pot overflowing with freshly boiled rice and milk foam.
The man has sharp facial features, warm brown skin, expressive eyes, and a calm, confident smile. He has a neatly groomed beard and dark black hair styled with natural volume. On his forehead is a small, subtle sandalwood (chandanam) mark, applied neatly and traditionally.
He is dressed in a classic Green cotton shirt with sleeves slightly rolled up, paired with a traditional white veshti (dhoti) featuring a rich gold zari border, worn neatly in authentic South Indian style. A simple gold chain rests around his neck. No excessive accessories.
He is holding a round brown earthen Pongal pot with both hands. The pot features white hand-painted tribal and geometric patterns, with steaming rice and milk foam overflowing down the sides, symbolizing abundance. Natural steam is clearly visible rising from the pot.
The background shows a rural South Indian village setting with banana trees, sugarcane stalks, and soft morning mist. Kolam (rangoli) patterns are drawn on the ground behind him. Warm golden sunlight filters through palm trees, creating a glowing backlight and soft rim lighting around the subject.Centered text reads “Happy PONGAL” in large, bold, glossy 3D golden letters. Each letter of the word “PONGAL” is filled with detailed South Indian Pongal festival illustrations: sugarcane stalks with green leaves, colorful triangular bunting flags, a traditional brass oil lamp (kuthuvilakku), a decorated white cow with ornaments, a clay Pongal pot overflowing with rice and flowers, wheat crops, and a classical Bharatanatyam dancer in vibrant attire.
Decorative sugarcane plants curve diagonally from the bottom left corner and top right corner framing the text. The letters have soft shadows, smooth bevels, and a polished metallic finish.
