How to turn your images into Navratri portraits

All you need to do is navigate to Gemini and select the Nano Banana image generation model. Now, upload your selfie, paste the following prompt, and click the send button. The Gemini will give you the image. Here are the prompts

  1. Dynamic Dance Shot (high-energy Garba action)

“Transform me into a dancer mid-action at a lively Navratri Garba night. I’m holding two colourful dandiya sticks, my body in motion with energy and joy. Outfit: a vibrant traditional ghaghra choli with bright colours, mirror work, and flowing embroidery that moves with me. Background: a festive Garba circle at night, fairy lights twinkling, lanterns glowing, and other dancers softly blurred behind. Lighting: warm golden tones highlighting my face and capturing the excitement of the festival. Expression: cheerful, immersed in the dance, radiating festive energy.”

  1. Royal Garba Portrait (regal elegance)

“Create me as a regal figure in a stunning Navratri outfit. Outfit: jewel-toned ghaghra choli in deep sapphire blue or emerald green, richly embroidered with zari and mirror work. Accessories: ornate jewellery including a heavy necklace, bangles, earrings, and a delicate maang tikka. I’m holding a beautifully decorated dandiya stick with gold detailing. Background: a temple courtyard adorned with marigold garlands, fairy lights, and brass lamps. Mood: majestic and serene, with soft golden light casting subtle shadows for depth.”

  1. Festive Close-Up (glamorous beauty shot)

“Transform me into a radiant Garba goddess in a close-up cinematic portrait. Focus on my glowing face with festive makeup — bold eyeliner, shimmering eyeshadow, and radiant skin. Outfit detail: richly embroidered blouse visible around the neckline. Accessories: maang tikka, statement earrings, and a delicate nose ring. Background: softly blurred with glowing diyas, fairy lights, and festive décor to add depth. Lighting: warm golden tones with soft highlights to make my face glow. Expression: confident, joyful, and full of celebration.”

It should be noted that you can make changes by changing the prompt and requesting specific information. The outfits, colours, surroundings, and other details can be customised to meet individual needs.
