## Questions

**Can AI make images of Kathak?** Yes. TASVR has 27 ready presets for Kathak, built for Indian imagery and written and tested for Google's Nano Banana 2.1. Every person in an image is AI-generated; none is a real person.

**Can I use them in ads or on Instagram?** Yes. The image licence covers websites, social media, ads and print, for yourself or your clients. Read the licence at https://www.tasvr.ai/license for the details. The 3 free images carry a small Tasvr mark; images made on a paid plan do not.

**Do the people look Indian and regional?** You choose where they are from. TASVR has 377 regional people presets, filed by state, so a person from Kerala and a person from Punjab are different presets, not one generic face.
