With Google Gemini, you can give your usual Diwali portraits and selfies a touch of AI artistic flair. The Nano Banana tool, courtesy of the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, allows users to go wild with AI prompts and redo their real photos with sizzling trends and elements. For most social media enthusiasts who love to share their everyday photos with their friends and family, the Nano Banana tool can help you create a ‘Celestial Marigold Cascade’ style photo.
The ‘Celestial Marigold Cascade’ aesthetic is a fusion of traditional Diwali elements with a touch of modern enchantment. You can redo your favourite portrait or selfie bathed in a soft, twilight glow, surrounded by a gracefully floating halo of vibrant orange and yellow marigold flowers. These traditional blooms are intertwined with glowing LED fairy lights, adding a festive luminescence. Your attire, which is no longer ordinary, is adorned with digital embroidery that subtly twinkles. The backdrop completes this picture with a usual Diwali party scene.
Here’s a quick look at how to achieve this effect.
How to craft your ‘Celestial Marigold Cascade’ Diwali photo with Nano Banana:
Launch Google Gemini Nano:
Begin by opening the Google Gemini app on your smartphone or navigating to the Gemini web interface. Log in using your Google account to access its AI capabilities.
Upload your desired photos and selfie:
Select a clear, well-composed selfie or portrait from your device’s gallery. Choose a photo where your face and shoulders are clearly visible.
Input the specific prompt:
In the designated prompt or chat box, carefully paste the detailed description for the “Celestial Marigold Cascade” effect:
“Depict the person within a ‘Celestial Marigold Cascade’ scene for Diwali. They are surrounded by a gateway of vibrant orange and yellow marigold flowers, intertwined with glowing LED fairy lights. There are small diyas littered at the feet. Their attire should be adorned with digital embroidery that subtly twinkles. The backdrop is a soft, twilight sky with a few stylized fireworks, against the setting of a Diwali party full of kids, men and women, lighting fireworks. The light falls from the right, with a soft warm glow. Make it a portrait image. Style: Dreamy, ethereal, and hyper-detailed with a ‘Nano Banana’ luminous effect.”
Generate and review:
Initiate the image generation. Google Gemini Nano will then process your uploaded photo and the elaborate prompt, presenting you with a selection of unique “Celestial Marigold Cascade” portraits, typically within moments.
Refine and Save:
Review the generated image. If a detail doesn’t seem right, you can give additional instructions to the AI (e.g., “make the fairy lights brighter,” or “add more sparkle to the embroidery”). Once you find the perfect portrait, download the high-resolution image to share with friends and family.
