This Diwali, social media is glowing with a new trend — AI-generated couple portraits that beautifully capture the festival’s charm and colours. Powered by Gemini Nano Banana, an AI image-generation tool, couples are turning their selfies into vibrant digital portraits to celebrate the festival of lights in a creative and personalized way.
Gemini Nano Banana has quickly become a favourite among creators seeking custom festive content. Unlike regular photo filters, it transforms ordinary selfies into stunning Diwali-themed portraits — complete with radiant diyas, traditional attire like sarees and sherwanis, and colourful festive backdrops.
How to create your own AI Diwali portraits
The tool uses advanced text-to-image AI technology. Users simply enter a short description, or “prompt,” and the AI generates a high-quality image based on it. For Diwali portraits, these prompts typically describe the couple, their outfits, and festive touches such as fireworks, rangoli patterns, or glowing lamps.
