Google Gemini Garba trend: Best prompts to create dandiya night looks for Navratri
To get the most realistic results, users recommend prompts that specify lighting, background, and film-like imperfections.
As Navratri celebrations have begun, a new trend is taking over social media, using Google Gemini AI to turn selfies into festive portraits.
Google Gemini’s latest AI feature, Nano Banana, has sparked a wave of viral photo experiments. Known for creating ultra-realistic 4D-style portraits, the tool is now helping users craft stunning Navratri-inspired Garba looks. With the festival in full swing, people are embracing AI to transform their everyday photos into vibrant, celebratory images.

Social media is filled with girls in vibrant ghaghra cholis, holding dandiya sticks, and posing as if straight out of a 90s Bollywood film. Some edits capture dramatic mid-dance twirls, while others showcase cinematic portraits complete with diyas and retro-style lighting.
The process to create these festive looks is simple and requires only the Gemini app.
Here’s how you can hop on the viral trend:
Step 1: Download the Gemini app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Step 2: Sign in using your Google account.
Step 3: Upload the pictures of yourself.
Step 4: Enter a prompt. You can either write your own or use ready-made prompts that are circulating online.
Step 5: Tap the send button, and Gemini will generate your image. You can then download and share it.
To get the most realistic results, users recommend prompts that specify lighting, background, and film-like imperfections.
