We'd like to thank the following for their various contributions to this project Jyoti Soni for introducing her daughter, Sonika, to Gauri at an early age, the eminent Udaipur-based scholar, Dr. Mahendra Bhanawat, and Mr. Deepak Dixit of West Zone Cultural Centre, for sharing their well-researched insights into the Gavri tradition during Sonika's many field trips, Manohar and Ram Singh, who have so happily allowed Waswo to maintain his Varda Studio at their farm, and the people of the village who have tolerated a quirky photographer in their midst. Pramod Kumar KG for his wonderful preface and Rajesh Soni for his endless talents at photo hand colouring with patient, skillful, brushwork, Nathaniel Gaskell and the Museum of Art & Photography for lending their generous guidance, Bipin Shah and Neha Manke of Mapin Publishing for making this book a reality: Ganpat Mali and lay Prakash, who were always at the photographer's side to assist in any way. Manish Soni and Yug Deepak Soni for their constant support of Sonika, and S. Girikumar for his constant motivation, the artists R Vijay and Dalpat Singh lingar for their contribution of the story's illustrations; Moksha Carambiah for the book's gifted design, and Ashwati Franklin for her meticulous editing friends: Abhiruchi Oke, Amit Shrungare, Vinit Vyas and Lucky Chauhan for being a part of this Gavri journey; and, last but not least, all of the Gavri performers themselves, for being such delightful, warm hearted and creative people, who keep this amazing tradition alive.
