Create a highly detailed, realistic hand-drawn graphite pencil sketch of a newly married South Indian couple during a traditional wedding ceremony.

The groom stands slightly behind the bride, gently placing a golden thali/mangalsutra necklace around her neck with both hands. He has thick, naturally wavy curly hair, a neatly trimmed beard and moustache, and a gentle affectionate smile while looking down at her. He wears a traditional white South Indian veshti/dhoti with a white shirt and angavastram, along with a wedding flower garland.

The bride stands gracefully in the foreground with her head slightly tilted downward and a soft, shy smile. She has naturally curly dark hair tied back, a small traditional bindi, subtle earrings, layered gold necklaces, and a beautiful traditional silk saree with an elegant temple-style border. She also wears a fresh jasmine/flower wedding garland.

Set the scene inside a traditional South Indian Hindu wedding hall/mandapam, with decorated pillars, hanging flower garlands, subtle temple elements, and a traditional brass kuthuvilakku visible in the background.

Style: ultra-realistic graphite pencil drawing, fine cross-hatching, delicate pencil strokes, realistic facial features, natural skin texture, intricate saree and jewelry detailing, soft shading, strong depth, hand-drawn wedding portrait, emotional and romantic atmosphere, elegant composition, highly detailed monochrome artwork. Keep the golden thali subtly highlighted with a very light warm-gold tone while the rest remains predominantly black-and-white graphite.

Composition: vertical portrait, couple centered, groom behind bride, intimate candid wedding moment, balanced framing, soft background details, realistic proportions, professional pencil-art aesthetic, 4K detail, 9:16 aspect ratio.
