White lehenga for Garba: Edit the girl into a radiant scene where she is wearing an all-white lehenga and blouse, paired with a red bandhani dupatta.

Place her in the middle of a Garba ground, holding dandiya sticks, while blurred silhouettes of people dance in the background. The spotlight should focus on her, making her the centre of attention. Use a romantic windy atmosphere, deep shadows, and retro 90s film grain to make the edit look cinematic and mysterious, as if frozen from a Navratri night in the past.

Pinterest-y Garba look: Transform the girl into a minimalist yet aesthetic Garba-inspired portrait. She should be styled in a simple garba dress with a colourful bandhani dupatta draped neatly, paired with oxidised jewellery like bangles, earrings, and a nose ring. She should be giving a side pose with dandiya sticks, standing in a crowded environment where her dupatta and hair move naturally. Use deep shadows and contrasting light to add a mysterious, cinematic feel. The retro grain effect makes the portrait look like it belongs on a Pinterest moodboard with a festive 90s vibe.
