Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Thakur Mahendra Singh, the village's oldest elder and keeper of old tales. A frail but dignified man in his late eighties, deeply weathered sun-darkened wheatish skin creased with countless wrinkles, sunken cheeks, sharp knowing hazel eyes under bushy grey brows. A long flowing white beard and a thick curled white moustache, wispy white hair mostly hidden beneath a large saffron-and-crimson Rajasthani turban (pagri). He wears a cream cotton angarkha kurta with a faded maroon Nehru waistcoat, a white dhoti, and a beige woollen shawl draped over one shoulder. Thin bony hands grip a polished dark wooden walking stick with a brass handle; a silver kada on his wrist. Worn leather jutti sandals on his feet. Standing in a dusty deserted Rajasthani village lane at dusk, crumbling sandstone haveli walls behind him, calm solemn expression, no text. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
