A fresh AI trend is catching on across Instagram just in time for Durga Puja. After the viral retro saree edits, users are now creating AI-generated festive saree portraits with Google’s Gemini-powered Nano Banana tool.

The edits feature traditional Bengali sarees, gold jewellery, temple-style decor and glowing festive backdrops, capturing the spirit of Durga Puja and Navratri, which begin on September 22.

Nano Banana, originally known for toy-style avatars, has evolved into a creative canvas. People are using it to design saree looks for each day of Durga Puja, while others are experimenting with pre-wedding portraits and celebrity-inspired festival edits.

The process is simple: upload a selfie, enter a prompt, and the AI generates high-quality portraits with sharp details, cinematic lighting and realistic sarees.

Five Popular Durga Puja AI Saree Prompts

“’90s Bengali cinema look: breezy courtyard, ivory tant saree with vermilion kantha motifs, straight softly-waved hair. Handheld feel with slight motion blur and high contrast. A Durga idol glimpsed in the background. Preserve the original face.”
