However, the art of his phad painting is quite different from the above mentioned schools of art. His phad painting depicts the advanced stage of Rajpur school of art. The Uniqueness, and novelty of his phad painting is primarily based on the mythological stories related of be lives and achievements of various Hindu gods such as Pabuji, Devnarayan, Ramdala (Related of the Ramayan) Krishnadala related to the Krishna, Mataji ka chandwa and Baba ramdeo.
