Keep I am on the third page of Google books results, and am still finding sources which range from mentions to more in-depth coverage. Meets GNG easily.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:37, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The painter is a recipient of Ranjitram Suvarna Chandrak which is considered as the highest literary and cultural award of Gujarat state. I found large number of reliable sources mentioning him in several Google Books. I have added few references. The article needs more references but subject is clearly notable.-Nizil (talk) 06:20, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
