Prince Temple: Splendor and Processions of the South

Show a southern Taiwanese royal-lord temple on a festival day, at the exuberant end of the tradition. Render a temple of intense visual density: every ridge crowded with cut-and-paste figures, the eaves band packed with polychrome ceramic opera scenes, the walls covered in carved stone panels, and gold everywhere on the timber. Fill the forecourt with festival activity — a performance troupe in painted face makeup and elaborate costume forming up, tall deity effigies worn by performers, flag bearers, a drum cart, and dense clouds of firecracker smoke drifting at ground level with red paper scraps scattered across the paving. Show banners and triangular flags strung overhead in rows, and a crowd pressing at the edges with phones raised. Keep the temple itself readable behind the activity, its facade brilliantly coloured. Light with bright southern sun cutting through the smoke. Photorealistic, saturated, crowded and loud, eye-level view into the forecourt.
