Create a compelling and informative 60-second short video script explaining the mythology behind Diwali, suitable for a general audience interested in learning about cultural traditions. The video should focus on educational value while being engaging and visually appealing.
**Video Script Requirements:**
1. **Choose ONE (1) of the following Diwali mythological narratives to focus on:**
* The return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.
* The killing of Narakasura by Lord Krishna.
* The celebration of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
* The story of Yama and Nachiketa, emphasizing the victory of good over evil and knowledge over ignorance (relevant in some regions).
Specify the chosen narrative at the beginning of the script output.
2. **Concise Narrative:** Clearly explain the chosen narrative within the 60-second timeframe. Focus on key events and their symbolic meanings. Avoid complex subplots or tangential details.
3. **Engaging Language:** Use clear, concise, and engaging language suitable for a general audience. Avoid jargon or overly academic terms. Maintain a positive and celebratory tone.
4. **Visual Cues (in brackets within the script):** Suggest relevant visuals throughout the script using bracketed descriptions. Example: “[Close-up shot of a diya being lit]” or “[Animation of Rama’s return to Ayodhya]”. These visual cues should enhance understanding and add visual interest.
5. **Call to Action (optional):** Optionally, include a brief call to action at the end, such as “Learn more about Diwali traditions” or “Share this video with someone who wants to learn about Indian culture”.
**Visual Guidelines (separate from the script):**
After the script, provide a separate section titled “Visual Guidelines”. This section should outline the visual style and aesthetic recommendations for the video, considering the 60-second time limit. Include the following:
1. **Visual Style:** Suggest a suitable visual style (e.g., animation, live-action, motion graphics, a combination). Justify your choice based on the chosen narrative and target audience.
2. **Color Palette:** Recommend a color palette that evokes the spirit of Diwali (e.g., warm colors, vibrant hues, gold and red).
3. **Music & Sound Effects:** Suggest appropriate background music and sound effects to enhance the mood and storytelling. Examples: traditional Indian music, celebratory sounds, sound effects related to the chosen narrative.
4. **Pacing & Transitions:** Provide guidance on the video’s pacing and transitions to maintain a dynamic and engaging flow within the 60-second duration.
**Output Format:**
The output should be clearly formatted and divided into two sections:
**Section 1: Video Script** (including bracketed visual cues)
**Section 2: Visual Guidelines** (as detailed above)

It commemorates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. [Animated depiction of Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana returning to a cheering crowd]. Rama, along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, had been banished to the forest… [Transition to a forest scene]. …where they faced numerous challenges… [Quick montage of challenges, e.g., fighting demons]. Upon his victorious return, the people of Ayodhya lit diyas to welcome their beloved king. [Close-up of rows of diyas being lit, illuminating the city].
