Hello Ajay_A, 

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. 


You can create an Album in the Photos application, then add the Album as a desktop picture category. 


  1. Create and work with albums in Photos on Mac
  2. From System Settings, click Wallpaper. 
  3. Select “Add Photo Album”. 
  4. Click the Album that you created earlier.

Cheers!
