Copies the prompt, then opens the app:
Edit the uploaded photo of me, an adult. Keep my face, skin tone, hairstyle, expression and features exactly as in the photo; do not lighten or smooth the skin. Show me kneeling at a clean doorstep drawing a large intricate white rice-flour pulli kolam with flowing curves, dawn light, shot from slightly above, realistic. If no photo is uploaded, show an original adult instead.
Great for Pongal greeting images.

- Start with a photo where you are crouching or kneeling, full body in view, so the pose in the prompt looks natural.
- AI draws kolam lines that do not join; add 'symmetrical pulli kolam, continuous curves around evenly spaced dots' to improve it.
- For a festival look, add 'coloured rangoli with flower petals' instead of plain white rice flour.
- Using your own doorstep photo as a second image helps the floor and wall look real and personal.
- A square 1:1 or top-down 4:5 frame shows the full pattern clearly for sharing.
