Why it's trending

How to make it
- Pick a clear, well-lit photo of yourself, or of you with people who agree to be in it.
- Choose a prompt above and change the outfit colour or setting in Customise.
- Copy the prompt, open ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok, upload the photo and paste it.
- Compare faces and skin tones with the original, and ask for one fix if needed.
Tips
- Name a real colour you would wear, such as mango yellow with a maroon border.
- Jasmine and gold jewellery can overwhelm small photos; keep them simple for close-ups.
- If the skin looks lighter than yours, ask the model to keep your natural skin tone.
- Morning or late-afternoon light suits the warm vintage film look best.
Use photos with care
Use only your own photo, or photos of people who have agreed to be edited. Never use photos of children who are not your own. The settings are generic and not copies of any real temple or home. Check each face before sharing.
Questions
Is this only for women?
No. One prompt is written for a veshti look, and the couple and family prompts work for everyone.
Will it show a real temple?
No. The prompts describe a generic temple-town street or courtyard, not a specific real place.
Can I change the saree colour?
Yes. Change it in Customise before you copy the prompt.
