The Kishangarh school of painting is famous for which iconic portrait?

Explanation

Bani Thani is the named iconic painting associated with the Kishangarh school. It is the school’s most famous painting and is often called India’s Mona Lisa. Shri Ratanlal Kanwarlal Patni Government P. G. College, Kishangarh - Self Study Report links the local art tradition to the famous medieval Kishangarh School of art and specifically names the famous painting in this style as Bani Thani, explaining the phrase as meaning well-dressed. That makes option C the precise answer: the question asks for the portrait by which the Kishangarh school is known, not for a general theme, a different folk-art form, or a nickname.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Radha Krishna is too broad; the famous Kishangarh portrait is identified by the specific name Bani Thani.
• (B) Pabuji Ki Phad is not the named famous painting of the Kishangarh school.
• (D) Mona Lisa of India is a nickname used for Bani Thani, not the portrait’s actual name asked for in the question.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan art and culture, especially the signature works attached to regional painting schools. It recurs in RAS because school-style associations are high-yield factual anchors in Rajasthan culture questions.
