Laughing Mahabali holding tea and a sweetener bottle over an Onam sadya

This is a warm photoreal portrait of a jolly, moustached king in a gold crown, jewellery and a cream kasavu cloth, set against a dark wooden interior. Low-key amber lighting picks out the gold and his smile as he raises a glass of tea in one hand and the product bottle in the other. In the foreground, a banana leaf holds rice, pappadam, payasam, banana and curries. Yellow type pops against the deep brown shadows.

Layout: The king is centred as the hero, with a stacked Malayalam headline in the upper right beside his head and a sadya spread on a banana leaf across the bottom. A zero-percent claim sits bottom left, the logo bottom right, and the URL small at top left.
Typography: Bold, rounded yellow Malayalam display script stacked tightly; bold geometric sans for the numeral claim and the green-and-white logo.

My brand: [my brand], [what my business sells].
Language for any text on the design: English.
Size: 1080 × 1350 px (Instagram portrait).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Laughing Mahabali holding tea and a sweetener bottle over an Onam sadya.
- Look and feel: This is a warm photoreal portrait of a jolly, moustached king in a gold crown, jewellery and a cream kasavu cloth, set against a dark wooden interior. Low-key amber lighting picks out the gold and his smile as he raises a glass of tea in one hand and the product bottle in the other. In the foreground, a banana leaf holds rice, pappadam, payasam, banana and curries. Yellow type pops against the deep brown shadows.
- Layout: The king is centred as the hero, with a stacked Malayalam headline in the upper right beside his head and a sadya spread on a banana leaf across the bottom. A zero-percent claim sits bottom left, the logo bottom right, and the URL small at top left.

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.
