Try these prompts with Gemini Nano Banana to generate realistic, Diwali-themed family portraits with a traditional festive look. Here are some examples to get you started.
Gemini Nano Banana prompts to create Diwali photos with friends and family
Here are seven prompts that you can use to create beautiful Diwali photos with friends and family with Google’s Gemini Nano Banana AI tool:
Firework celebration with family
Prompt 1: “An Indian family of four parents and two children, celebrating Diwali outdoors in their courtyard, dressed in elegant traditional attire (silk Saree, Kurta-Pajama, and Sherwani), surrounded by glowing diyas and fairy lights. Fireworks sparkle in the night sky, marigold garlands hang across the gate, with a starry background, soft golden lighting, warm bokeh effect, cinematic realism.”
Lighting Diyas with family
Prompt: “An Indian family on their balcony decorated with diyas, lanterns, and fairy lights. The woman wears a red and gold Saree, the man is in a cream Kurta-Pyjama, and the children are dressed in festive ethnic outfits. Behind them, the city skyline glows with fireworks. They hold a plate of sweets together, gentle smiles, candlelight reflections on their faces, subtle depth of field, golden-hour ambience, cinematic portrait lens.”
Designing Rangoli with friends
Prompt: “A group of young Indian women kneeling on a tiled veranda, wearing bright Sarees with traditional jewellery, creating an intricate multicoloured rangoli using flower petals and coloured powder. Surrounding them are rows of diyas, marigold garlands hanging on the doorframe, morning sunlight streaming in, shadows of leaves in the background, realistic textures, artistic detail.”
Laxmi Puja with family
Prompt: “A family of four performing Laxmi Puja in a beautifully decorated living room. Idols of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha are placed on a flower-covered altar, surrounded by diyas, incense smoke, and golden light. The family wears vibrant traditional attire; a plate with sweets, coins, and Kalash sits nearby. Background glows with fairy lights and Torans, warm and devotional mood.”
Kids lighting Diya with friends
Prompt: “Two cheerful Indian children lighting small diyas on a marble staircase, wearing colourful ethnic outfits like Lehenga-Choli and Kurta-Pyjama. The air sparkles with floating lights and soft smoke from sparklers. Behind them, the home is decorated with lanterns, flower garlands, and fairy lights. Golden-hour lighting, shallow depth of field, dreamy festive tone.”
Festive gathering with friends
Prompt: “A group of four young Indian friends laughing and posing for a photo during their Diwali party. The setting is a terrace draped with string lights, hanging paper lanterns, and colourful decor. They hold trays of sweets and sparklers, dressed in Indo-western fusion attire. Background filled with city lights and light smoke from fireworks, captured in a cinematic candid frame.”
Visiting Diwali night market with friends
Prompt: “A group of friends visiting a lively Indian night market during Diwali, surrounded by glowing lanterns and fairy lights. They browse through stalls selling sweets, diyas, sarees, and jewellery, laughing and chatting as they explore.

Warm festive colours like orange, red, and gold, along with bokeh lights, cinematic perspective and high-detail realism.”
