While six workers are permanently employed under him, over the span of the year, he engages with up to 20–25 artisans as per the seasonal demand.
Exhibitions Encourage Artists and their Artwork
In 2014, Banwari Lal discovered the power of exhibitions to promote his business. Setting up shop at an industrial fair, he received a positive response from exporters. His fond memories include a visit to New Delhi's famous Dilli Haat Market in 2016, where he received significant attention during his 15-day display. Although COVID-19 temporarily halted physical showcasing, Banwari Lal remains optimistic about the resumption of exhibitions.
