Pro tips

Add '--s 900' if you want more stylized, less photorealistic results closer to Vogue India covers.
Swap 'crimson and gold' for 'peacock teal and silver' to get a completely different festive mood in the same composition.
Use '--chaos 10' to explore multiple draping styles and jewelry arrangements across variations.
Upscale with Midjourney's 'Upscale (Subtle)' option to preserve fine zari thread detail without over-smoothing.
Reference '--iw 0.5 [haveli reference image URL]' to anchor the background architecture to a specific location.
