About this image

Shot from slightly below, this portrait makes the temple feel enormous. The subject stands in front in a black kurta with small gold motifs and a saffron stole with a woven border, with sunglasses and a watch, while a tall Ganesha idol rises behind in a gold crown, a red and gold dhoti and white flower garlands, one palm raised and marked with Om. Brass bells hang from above, marigold strings frame both sides, and rows of lit brass lamps glow in the foreground.

The prompt works for a man or a woman, with a black embroidered outfit and saffron dupatta described for the female version. It creates a new face and asks for no celebrity likeness, so upload a clear photo and ask ChatGPT to use your face if you want it to be you.

Try a maroon or deep green kurta with the same saffron stole for a change.

Creator's tip: the prompt doesn't mention sunglasses. If you want them as in my image, add "black rectangular sunglasses" to the wardrobe list.
