Strong rule: style --- Ghibli-inspired 2D animation, cozy Himalayan mountain hut, soft morning light, warm wood tones, snowy landscape outside, high detail, 4k, nostalgic atmosphere. ---. A medium close-up, eye-level shot in a dimly lit, rustic kitchen. Hands are gently sifting fine, snowy white wheat flour into a large, well-worn, dented steel mixing basin. The golden glow of the nearby chulha fire perfectly illuminates the falling flour, making it look like delicate morning snow. The atmosphere is calm, focused, and meditative. A warm amber and deep shadow color palette emphasizes the contrasting textures of the cold steel and soft flour.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Meera: A gentle Himalayan woman in her early 30s with warm, olive skin and deep, expressive brown eyes. Her long dark hair is tied back in a loose, practical braid. She wears a traditional 1980s woven wool shawl in muted earthy tones of rust and mustard over a simple cotton kurta. Her hands are weathered but graceful, showing years of care and daily chores. The background is a cozy, dimly lit traditional mountain kitchen with warm wood textures, copper pots, and soft golden morning light filtering through a frosty window. Rendered in a highly detailed, nostalgic Studio Ghibli 2D animation style with soft, painterly lighting and cozy atmospheric depth.
