Bani Thani Paintings
This beautiful miniature painting depicts the Raja Sawant Singh of Kishangarh in Rajasthan as the eternal lover Krishna. It belongs to the Kishangarh School of Indian miniature paintings.
Bani Thani was an enchanting mistress of Raja Sawant Singh of Kishangarh in Rajasthan. She was a quintessential Indian beauty with her elongated face with a high forehead, arched eyebrows, half-open lotus eyes, sharp-pointed nose, thin curved sensuous lips, and a pointed chin over a long narrow neck. The curl of the hair around the ear added to her innate grace. She was the inspiration for the image of Radha of Kishangarh School of painting and Raja Sawant Singh was painted as Krishna. Besides being blessed with natural beauty she was also an accomplished poetess and singer. In later years, Bani Thani along with Sawant Singh retired to the life of reclusion, singing devotional bhajans in praise of Krishna till they lost to eternity. Adding to the richness of the theme of this painting is the color of gold that has been derived from pure 24k gold dust.

About the Artist
I'm Mohan Kumar Prajapati from Jaipur, Rajasthan. I feel I'm blessed that my ancestors passed on to me a skill not known to many. I'm a miniature painting artist and for the last 38 years I have devoted my life along with my family to create and promote Rajasthani Miniature Paintings. I'm honored to say we received the state award in 2004 and the national award in 2007 for our work and services in the field of art. We were invited by art exhibitions in India, London, China, Bangkok, and Bahrain.I believe that everyone can be an artist. You just need to have a passion for art and it takes time to shape it. My message to everyone if you don't get it right the first time...just toss it in the trash bin and then try once again 😊. Looking forward to meeting you all virtually or physically to share my knowledge that I have gained during my humble life.
