Hi balaji,

If you want to set background to the PanelBar , you have to write

<telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar.Background>
    <ImageBrush ImageSource="{StaticResource BackgroundImage}" />
</telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar.Background>

If you want to set background to the PanelBarItem , you have to write

<telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Background>
    <ImageBrush ImageSource="{StaticResource BackgroundImage}" />
</telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Background>
