Saiteja · ·9 min read

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:

  1. Upload a clear portrait.
  2. Choose a photo code.
  3. Copy the complete prompt.
  4. Add the face-preservation instruction.
  5. 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.
