Hi Praneetha,

The behavior that you experience is the expected one. In your case you need to set the size properties of the RadRotator control according to the size of the items in the ItemTemplate. More details about the configuration of the control can be found in this forum thread.
Additionally, I see that you use physical paths (C:\Path). Please note that this approach will not work with any images declared on your page. You need to set a valid virtual path to the images or an absolute path instead.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
