As Diwali 2025 approaches, Google's Gemini Nano Banana tool is at the center of it all. This quirky-named text-to-image AI tool has evolved from retro saree portraits and 90s figurines into a festive powerhouse. Couples everywhere are ditching traditional photoshoots for quick, photorealistic masterpieces featuring glowing diyas, sparkling fireworks, and traditional attire, all sparked by simple prompts and a selfie upload.

No fancy editing skills needed—just paste, generate, and share the joy. With Diwali just days away, fire up Gemini on your phone or web (gemini.google.com), upload your selfies, and try these five curated prompts.
