Frequently asked questions
When is Chhath Puja in 2026?
Chhath Puja runs 13 to 16 November 2026: Nahay-Khay on Friday 13 November, Kharna on Saturday 14 November, Sandhya Arghya on Sunday 15 November and Usha Arghya on Monday 16 November. Make your photo a day or two before, while the trend is peaking.
Do the Chhath prompts keep my face the same?
Yes — every photo prompt opens with a face-lock line telling the AI to keep the same face, skin tone, hairstyle and expression, with no facial modifications. Start from a clear, well-lit photo with your face visible; a dark or blurry photo will not lock faces well.
Can I make a Chhath video too?
Yes — the video prompts are written for Veo 3.1, Gemini Omni 1.2 and Kling 4.0 in 9:16 vertical. Paste the prompt, add your photo where the prompt says so, and keep clips to eight seconds in Veo 3.1 (up to 15 seconds in Gemini Omni 1.2, up to 30 in Kling 4.0), one idea per clip.
