Hi @Aniruddha Namjoshi and welcome to the Community!

A bit more detail might help us better help you. Swimlanes can be created in a board (scrum or kanban) and can be based on a limited set of predefined options (like assignee, epics, projects or stories).

If you want to create swimlanes for something else, you can use queries instead, as long as the item you are trying to group issues by supports searching through JQL. You will have to create a separate query for every swimlane you want to add to your board.

As a final remark: swimlanes are a feature of boards in company managed projects. They are not available / configurable in team managed projects. You can use the Group By feature there to create a similar effect, but they are less flexible.

Hope this helps!

Adding to this...

Is "themes" an issue type in your Jira instance, like Epic, Story, and Task?
