Sample Prompts for the Perfect Karwa Chauth Look
Google shared detailed prompts to help users get the best results.
- “Transform your photo into a mid-shot of a woman in a maroon saree, holding a sieve during evening puja, with the warm glow of diyas and subtle home décor in the background.”
- “Create an image of an Indian woman standing on her balcony during the Karwa Chauth festival, wearing a red lehenga and bangles on her wrists, gold jewelry and earrings, and looking at the moon. Her hair is open and she is holding a ritual offering plate in her hand. The night sky and a large, bright moon are visible.”
- “Create a 4K close-up portrait of a couple celebrating Karwa Chauth, the woman wearing a maroon lehenga with intricate gold embroidery, and the man in a sherwani. Focus on their joyful expressions and hand-holding gesture, with a soft bokeh background of festive lights. Include subtle henna patterns on her hands, matching gold jewelry, and a decorative moonlit setting for an intimate, romantic vibe.”
- “Generate a side-view shot of a woman in a pink saree, lighting diyas on a low table, her braid adorned with flowers, and a minimal festive setting.”
- “Create a portrait of a couple performing the Karwa Chauth ritual. The woman in a bright orange saree with gold jewelry, the man in a cream kurta. Emphasize the puja thali, decorated with flowers and a diya, and soft indoor lighting. Highlight cultural authenticity with henna on her hands, subtle expressions of devotion, and a cozy, warm environment reflecting the festival spirit.”
- “4K cinematic portrait of a couple celebrating Karwa Chauth, with soft golden lighting, moon in the background, the woman has a sieve in her hand, and both are wearing festive attire. It is nighttime and a romantic, intimate atmosphere.”
