Scene: A sunlit street in Chennai, depicted in a delicate pen-and-ink wash style. The right half is dominated by a richly detailed South Indian temple gate (Gopuram), standing behind an old shophouse, covered with numerous tiny sculptural layers in soft cream, peach, blue, and terracotta hues. A large, leafy olive-green tree outlines the upper right corner. The street extends to the left and back, ending near the sea, where a red and white lighthouse can be seen. Key visual elements to include and count: exactly 1 ornate temple gate, exactly 1 red and white lighthouse on the far left, exactly 1 large tree in the upper right corner, exactly 4 black curved streetlights along the road, exactly 2 yellow and black rickshaws (one larger on the left in the foreground, one smaller in the background), exactly 1 bicycle cart carrying green coconuts in the center foreground, exactly 1 pile of coconuts near a woman on the roadside, exactly 1 drip coffee stand on the roadside in the lower right corner, and exactly 1 next to the coffee stand." A blackboard menu, a green road sign pointing to "MARINA BEACH," and exactly five birds in the sky. People and street life: including a middle-aged man riding a coconut bicycle, a woman in a cream-colored sari with gold embellishments walking with her back to the camera in the lower right foreground, a coffee vendor standing in his stall, and a small group of pedestrians in the midground near the temple and coastal road. Facial treatment should maintain a loose, painterly feel, rather than a realistic photographic style. Shops and signage: Add Tamil text to shop signs to enhance local authenticity. On the green road sign, include Tamil text and a white arrow above "MARINA BEACH." On the coffee stall front, write "FILTER COFFEE" below. A Tamil menu is included on the blackboard. The Tamil text can be painterly and imperfect, but should resemble an authentic sign. Visual Style: Elegant urban sketches, delicate pen outlines, transparent watercolor washes, soft warm neutral tones, dusty ochre, pale blue-gray shadows, olive leaves, soft coastal mist, subtle paper texture, slightly loose perspective, hand-drawn details, and a tranquil, nostalgic atmosphere. Avoid glossy digital realism, glaring saturation, modern skyscrapers, cars dominating streets, or crowded, cluttered scenes.
