The festival started on October 11 and will continue till October 19 with Garba nites and festive celebrations taking centre stage this year. Navratri is here, nine nites of devotion, music, dance and colourful traditional attires. Dressing up is a big part of the celebrations, from colourful chaniya cholis and mirror-work lehengas to traditional jewellery and elaborate hairdos. Those looking to give their photos festive makeover, AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini can be a simple way to try out different Navratri looks. With the right photo editing prompts, users can transform their ordinary pictures into Garba-night portraits, regal looks and colourful festival-themed pictures without dressing up or going to a professional photographer.
Be specific about the clothing, jewellery, hairstyle, background and lighting rather than relying on a short instruction such as “make this photo look like Navratri”. To get the desired look, upload a clear photograph and use a prompt that describes the style you want to create. It can help, too, to tell the AI tool explicitly to keep the person’s original facial features, skin tone and identity. Here are some AI photo editing prompts for ChatGPT and Gemini that can help create different Navratri inspired portraits.
