He was a very big follower of Muller and used to watch his work taking great interest . When Muller noticed this he started giving lessons of ART to him . Prasad's interest and hard work made him assistant of Muller within a very short span of time .

He went to Bombay for higher studies of art and took admission in Ketkar Art College where he was awarded the BEST student of the year . Because of second world war Prasad had to leave his studies in between and come back to his family . Because of financial problems during war time he started working in Calcutta where he earned a lot , but he was not mentally satisfied as all this was taking him away from Art . So finally he came back to Rajasthan .
