Five Google Gemini prompts to create Garba look photos at home this Navratri

Navratri festivities are in full swing, and many people are sharing photos of themselves in Garba looks on social media. Those who want to post such pictures but have no time to play Garba or book a photoshoot can use Google Gemini.

The method is simple. Open the Google Gemini website, upload your photo and paste one of the prompts below. Photos of your Garba look will be ready within moments. The prompts are written in English, so a summary of each is given here.

The first prompt is for an Indian girl aged 2 to 3. It asks for a stylish Gen Z-style ghagra choli with colourful pom-poms and fine mirror work. The hair is long and silky, shading from burgundy to black, with colourful hair accessories. The jewellery is entirely oxidised silver. The face is glowing, with a dimpled smile, and the setting is a Navratri Garba atmosphere. The girl is in a graceful dance pose, the lighting is cinematic rim lighting, and the picture is to be photorealistic 8K, full-length and vertical 9:16.

The second prompt describes a heavily embroidered, mirror-work lehenga choli in magenta and navy blue, with gold and multicoloured thread work and sequins. It has a cowrie-decorated belt with colourful pom-poms. Around the neck is a heavy antique oxidised choker with ruby-like red and green stones and pearls, along with matching earrings, maang tikka, nose pin and silver bangles. The subject holds a decorated, coloured dandiya stick in each hand, with long, black, open hair, a slight smile towards the camera and a magical standing pose.

The third prompt is for a vertical 9:16 multi-panel collage. It shows a cheerful Indian woman playing Garba in a shimmering mirror-work lehenga choli and a pink dupatta. She holds dandiya sticks and dances joyfully with long hair flowing, against festival lights and a colourful bokeh background. The poses are dynamic, the expressions happy, and the whole scene is a vibrant cultural celebration.

The fourth prompt is for creating a vivid Gujarati Garba portrait from your uploaded photo. It says the photo should be used only to keep your real facial identity, features and complexion, and the body structure should remain the same. One hand goes over the head to touch the hair, while the other sweeps across the front of the body and rests near the lower part. The original pose, hand position, camera angle and framing must stay exactly as they are.

The fifth prompt asks for an ultra-realistic, photorealistic portrait of an adult Gujarati woman performing the traditional dandiya raas at night during Navratri. She wears a bright red and yellow chaniya choli with fine mirror embroidery, oxidised silver jewellery, and fresh white gajra in a long black braid. She holds coloured dandiya sticks, is in a graceful dance pose, and has a warm, natural smile and expressive eyes.
