Chaukhat-Frame of Life.


Dear Fellow Bloggers,


Some of you may know one of our fellow bloggers and a professional photographer — Bhavesh Chhatbar. See his blog. By this post, I want to inform you all that his serenity in photography is available for sale online too now. He is selling his art in the form of ready to hang and ready to stick format. He calls them "Beautiful Wall Hangings and Wall Stickings". It's indeed worth to buy one. I have bought a 36"x24" chaukhat [a Hindi word for frame] from him for my living room. Believe me, it's certainly adding to the beauty of my home. As I'm a spiritual person, I've bought a highly-detailed chaukhat of Lord Ganesha.

What a concept! I liked it very much!! Do check his store at www.chaukhat.com, and buy a wall decor for your walls!!!

This is one of the Wall Hanging that i have purchased from Chaukhat.com and every one coming to my home really appreciates it because Lord Ganesha is the God of Prosperity and happiness.But i am bit jealous because now many other known to me have also ordered the same.But yes collection is seriously amazing.
