From Garba Lights to Digital Delights: Google Nano Banana AI Powers Navratri Visual Trend
While Navratri 2025 illuminates the streets of India, a new festive trend is emerging — AI-generated festival portraits on Google’s Nano Banana (Gemini) tool. What was originally a gimmick is now a cultural phenomenon as thousands of festival revelers virtually remash their Garba and Dandiya ensembles with AI filters and stylized treatments.
Nano Banana Enters the Festive Stage
Google’s Gemini app has recently improved its image editing functionality, enabling users to swap clothes, apply styles to images, and merge photos seamlessly.
Now, through its Nano Banana model (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), users can turn their selfies or dance pictures into colorful festival-themed images within seconds.
Navratri Prompts Go Viral
Among the most shared AI creations this season are the “Garba look” transformations. Users craft prompts like “young woman in flowing orange chaniya choli, twirling under fairy lights at night” to generate dynamic scenes inspired by Navratri.
Google India itself released a prompt for turning Dandiya night photos into retro 90s aesthetic portraits — “warm sunlight effect, golden highlights, floral motifs” — which has become a go-to for users this year.
