Want to create beautiful Diwali photos using AI?
The HelloTejaa Diwali Portrait Collection includes 100 creative Diwali photo codes and ready-to-copy prompts that can be used with your own portrait to create cinematic, traditional, festive, artistic and social-media-friendly Diwali images.
The collection includes everything from rooftop fireworks and diya portraits to heritage locations, family moments, fantasy scenes, retro styles and profile pictures.
The basic idea is simple:
- Upload a clear portrait.
- Choose a photo code.
- Copy the complete prompt.
- Add the face-preservation instruction.
- Generate your AI image.
The collection is organised into 10 different themes, making it easier to choose a style based on the kind of Diwali photo you want.
How to Use These Diwali Photo Codes
Before using any prompt, upload a clear portrait where your face is properly visible.
Then choose the photo style you want.
For example:
/terrace-gold
or
/reflection-fireworks
A code itself is only a label. To get the intended result, you should use the complete prompt connected to that code.
Face-Preservation Prompt
Use this along with your selected Diwali prompt:
Use my uploaded portrait as the identity reference. Preserve my facial features, skin tone and hairstyle; keep me recognizable in the requested style.
This can help AI tools maintain your identity while changing the background, outfit, lighting or artistic style.
