What you will get

A top-down picture of a symmetrical geometric rangoli in coloured powder with a central lotus and concentric petals, small diyas around the edge, on a dark floor with crisp fine detail.

Common mistake

The pattern is not symmetrical, so the petals do not match.

Fix: Ask for “perfect radial symmetry with eight identical petals”. Giving a number helps the AI count.

Also watch for

The powder looks like paint or glowing neon. Add “matte coloured powder with a soft chalky texture, tiny grains visible”. Matte surfaces read as powder.
The “--ar 1:1” code shows up as text in Gemini or ChatGPT. It is a Midjourney setting. In other tools, delete it and write “square 1:1 picture” instead.

Try a variation: kolam style

Replace the colours with “white rice flour on a dark floor, dotted-grid kolam style”. A single white colour gives a traditional look.
