## Prompt

```text
A richly detailed night scene of the {location_en} during the evening aarti, captured from a viewpoint directly across the {river_name_en}. The top half of the image shows the present-day city: crowds gathered on the steps, priests performing synchronized aarti with large flaming lamps, electric lights strung across balconies, recent renovations on temple facades, and a mix of old structures with modern signage. Firelight and scattered diyas illuminate smoke drifting softly above the ghats. The bottom half, seen as a perfect mirror on the still surface of the {river_name_en}, shows the same ghats but in an older historical era. The reflection must depict subtle architectural differences: fewer electric lights and more oil lamps, weathered stone surfaces without modern repairs, wooden boats of older design, people in period-accurate clothing, and temple towers in their earlier structural forms. The water should be glassy, with minimal distortion, allowing both timelines to align precisely like a split reality. Lighting, ripples, and reflections must obey realistic physics while maintaining the illusion of two coexisting centuries. The result should feel like a single photograph capturing the present above and the past below, bound together by the river’s mirror.
```
