Bengali calligraphy with a red tilak (phonta) mark

Off-white background with a faint peach floral lattice pattern and a soft white glow in the centre. Peach mandala ornaments hang on thin strings along the top and sides. The hero is black calligraphy topped by a red tilak with rice-grain details and flanked by red brow-like strokes, with small red and orange dot bowls below. Clean, flat vector finish.

Layout: A centred calligraphic lockup fills the middle, with a tilak rising from it as an accent, and a two-line red verse sits beneath. Hanging mandala ornaments frame the edges, leaving plenty of pale negative space.
Typography: Bold brush-style Bengali calligraphy in black with red and yellow accents and a red script prefix; small red Bengali text for the verse.

Design an original Bhai Dooj Instagram post for my brand, following the art direction below. It describes a reference design in full, so you don't need to see the reference.

My brand: [my brand], [what my business sells].
Language for any text on the design: English.
Size: 1080 × 1080 px (Instagram square).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Bengali calligraphy with a red tilak (phonta) mark.
- Look and feel: Off-white background with a faint peach floral lattice pattern and a soft white glow in the centre. Peach mandala ornaments hang on thin strings along the top and sides. The hero is black calligraphy topped by a red tilak with rice-grain details and flanked by red brow-like strokes, with small red and orange dot bowls below. Clean, flat vector finish.
- Layout: A centred calligraphic lockup fills the middle, with a tilak rising from it as an accent, and a two-line red verse sits beneath. Hanging mandala ornaments frame the edges, leaving plenty of pale negative space.
- Typography: Bold brush-style Bengali calligraphy in black with red and yellow accents and a red script prefix; small red Bengali text for the verse.
- Colours: #e4e0de, #fbfbfb, #e2cdc1, #cc9e93, #d03c37, #7a7975 (background #e4e0de, text #d03c37, accent #d03c37).
- Mood and details: festive, warm, devotional, tilak, kumkum and chandan bowls, hanging mandala ornaments, floral lattice pattern.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/202873158207737447-75a254499eaa.jpg (if you can't, carry on from these notes; don't ask me for it).

Rules:
- Build the same kind of idea around [my brand]: make my product or service the hero, the way the reference does. Don't copy its artwork, people, products, logo or text.
- Leave a clean space for my logo. Never invent a logo, prices, phone numbers or claims.
- One strong idea, few words, and text large enough to read on a phone.

Before you design, ask me for my brand name and what my business sells. Then create the image.
