Description

Encouragement, support, guidance and faith by people around me has helped me come so far in this study. A sincere thanks to all of them.

The confidence and guidance, understanding and support from my dissertation guide Prof. Manvita Baradi has helped me study this extensive subject of Natyashastra for this dissertation. Guidance from her help me deal with all the confusions and dilema that would set me off the track. Her experience and knowledge had an immense contribution to knowledge and understanding I have gained in the present times.

A sincere thanks to our faculty and studio co-ordinators, Prof. Devang Parekh and Riddhi Shah for the guidance, criticism and teachings for the dissertation.

My deepest gratitude to my parents for teaching me the fundamentals of writing a report, chapters and methods of expression in writing. Their lifelong contribution to the field of research and literature worked in total advantage for me. Constant support, love and faith shown by my little sister Ramya in me let me stand strong in moments of doubt during the course.
