Here’s What I Did On Day 1

The color was white, so I was going to wear my mum’s white saree, but I did not know what accessories would go well with it. So I went to Google’s Gemini- Nano Banana, typed in the above prompt “Suggest a white embroidered saree with the accessories that would go with it for Navratri Day 1, keep it simple”. And when I hit generate, Nano Banana came up with exactly what I needed, pearls and the ghajra would definitely go so well with the white saree. Take a look.

To personalize this more, you can upload the image of the outfit you have, your picture which is clear and ask nano banana to put together the outfit with makeup, jewelry ideas and whatever else you need.

Next, I wanted to learn more about significance of Day 1, so I went on ChatGPT to learn more about it and put in the prompt I’ve shared above.

Now, I know so much more about Maa Shailputri, her story and what the white color represents and why is it associated with her.
