Here are some prompts you can try on Google Gemini Nano Banana to create your perfect Dandiya look
Mid-Dance Twirl: Create a 4K HD Garba dance scene. The girl should be mid-twirl in a flowing ghaghra choli, holding dandiya sticks in both hands. Add golden-hour sunlight and retro 90s film grain for a cinematic effect.
Mirror-Work Magic: Create a 4K HD realistic Garba portrait. Outfit: black, red, and white lehenga with heavy mirror work and a bright red dupatta. Add jewellery and a nose ring. Background: warm retro wall with golden sidelights and retro film grain.
Vintage Poster: Convert this photo into a vintage Navratri poster. Dress the girl in a vibrant embroidered ghaghra choli with oxidised jewellery. Add warm golden sunlight on her face and keep the background plain, retro-textured, with subtle film grain.
The trend shows no signs of slowing down, with social media feeds filling up with dazzling AI-generated Navratri looks. For many, it’s the ultimate way to step into the festive spirit without stepping out of their homes.
