Answer 1

Your INSERT statement has two issues that I can see upfront:
insert into 'harshal.clinicreg'
You have to wrap the db/table name with backticks, not single-quotes:
insert into `harshal`.`clinicreg`
After this, the load_file() function takes a string-input, but you're passing a literal. Try updating the full query to:
INSERT INTO `harshal`.`clinicreg`
(clinicRegId,clinicName, clinicAddress,clinicContactNo,clinicContactNO1,clinicMobileNo,clinicMobileNo1,clinicCatagories,clinicServices,clinicLogo,ownerName,clinicEmailId, clinicEmailId1,loginTimeStamp)
VALUES
('ORCCli1','Smile Clinic','Mulund', 3456,544,234,567,'Gen','ABC',
load_file('C:\\Users\\harshal420\\Pictures\\Camera Roll\\Capture.jpg'),
'Smile','abc#xyz.com','def#pqr.com', CURDATE()
);

Answer 2

You have 2 errors in your insert query.
1 -
Your table name is wrong it should be
insert into clinicReg
you can also put dbname.clinicReg
2- in your query load_file(C:\Users\harshal420\Pictures\Camera Roll\Capture.jpg)
this gives error

Answer 3

It is happening because you have an error in your SQL syntax. More specifically it is because you have used the incorrect quoting character when quoting your database/table name; you should be using backticks (`) or no quotes when specifying a database name, table name or field name.
You also need to quote the path to your data using single or double quotes. See my example below.
insert into `harshal`.`clinicreg` (clinicRegId,clinicName,clinicAddress,clinicContactNo,clinicContactNO1,clinicMobileNo,clinicMobileNo1,clinicCatagories,clinicServices,clinicLogo,ownerName,clinicEmailId,clinicEmailId1,loginTimeStamp) Values ('ORCCli1','Smile Clinic','Mulund',3456,544,234,567,'Gen','ABC',load_file('C:\Users\harshal420\Pictures\Camera Roll\Capture.jpg'),'Smile','abc#xyz.com','def#pqr.com', CURDATE());

Answer 4

You probably want to do
insert into `harshal`.`clinicreg` (...)
instead of
insert into 'harshal.clinicreg' (...)
In your example MySQL gets a string instead of table identifier which is what it excepts here.
You can also miss backticks here at all.
There also second syntax error in your query. You should quote path string passed to load_file function as parameter. Should be:
load_file('C:\Users\harshal420\Pictures\Camera Roll\Capture.jpg') ,
