Bawa Frame Shop at Connaught Circus



Shri Nathji used to go to the Bawa Frame Shop at Connaught Circus, New Delhi to get pictures and portraits framed. The proprietor of the shop had also framed the first portrait of Shri Nathji, which had been made by Manda Chavan in 1975 and had never forgotten Shri Nathji. He had been struck with astonishment by the prophetic appearance in the portrait and the personality of Shri Nathji, who had visited him in his small and cramped shop littered with pieces of wood, and had blessed the man, while paying for the frame.  Shri Nathji also later got Babaji Maharaj’s picture framed from the same shop.
This shop had continued to prosper and in now known as New Bawa Picture House. It is located at 58 Municipal Market,Connaught Circus ,Connaught Place, Delhi. From the current owner of the shop I came to know that the person who had framed Sri Nathji’s and Babaji Maharaj’s Portraits and Pictures was Shri Sohan Singh. It was then known as Bawa Picture House, but later the proprietors had to apply for a new sales tax number and thus they were required to change the name of the shop. So the name of the shop was changed to New Bawa Picture House. Presently the shop is run by the two sons of Shri Sohan Singh; Mr Paramjeet Singh and Mr Sarbjeet Singh
