**Prompt Structure:**

This prompt is designed to be modular and adaptable. You can select and combine the relevant sections depending on the AI platform you are using and the level of control you desire.

**I. Core Concept:**

* **C. Serene and Spiritual:** Emphasize the gentle flickering of the diyas, soft background music, and a calming atmosphere. Close-ups of hands lighting the wicks and the diyas’ flames would be effective.
* **D. Cinematic and Dramatic:** Use slow-motion, depth of field, and dramatic lighting to highlight the beauty and significance of the ritual. Consider incorporating a voiceover or text overlay explaining the significance of Diwali.
