Top 5 AI Prompts to Generate Festive Diwali 2025 Portraits

The Modern day
 
The prompt is to organise a vibrant gathering of friends to celebrate Diwali in the vicinity of India Gate. To convey the thrill of a citywide celebration, combine traditional and modern attire, add lanterns and rangoli, and light up the sky with fireworks.
 
The Designer Look
 
The Prompt is to "create a realistic portrait in the manner of Manish Malhotra's designs, featuring a sophisticated woman wearing golden-embroidered clothing and holding a blazing diya on a balcony decked out with lanterns and rangoli." For a festive finale, use cinematic lighting and delicate fireworks in the sky. 
 
With the Temple 
 
The prompt is to "create a couple standing in front of a gorgeously illuminated temple, clothed in rich crimson and gold clothing." Decorate them with marigold garlands, diyas, and subdued pyrotechnics. Take pictures of their happy faces and organic hair and clothing movements.
 
The Festive Decorator
 
Build a prompt for constructing a picture of a woman using diyas and marigolds to adorn a stone entrance gate. To improve the Diwali atmosphere, place gentle string lights and colourful rangoli at her feet.
 
The Bollywood Scene
 
The prompt is to create a photograph of a couple dressed traditionally, surrounded by lanterns and fireworks, evoking the look of a Bollywood movie poster from the 1970s. To give it an old-movie feel, use emotive stances, warm sepia tones, and textures from vintage films.
