## Carrera

Mahathi comenzó identificando la música Carnatic Ragas a la edad de 1 año y medio. Su talento fue identificado por sus padres durante un concierto, su padre ofreció una presentación en un templo de Palakkad. Sus padres apoyaron su talento mediante la enseñanza, cada vez que escuchaban la música Ragas. Cuando tenía 2 años y medio de edad, ella fue capaz de identificar alrededor de 75 Carnatic Ragas. Solo para poner a prueba su talento, su padre mezclaba la música Carnatic swaras, pero Mahathi no dejó de identificar los swaras exactamente como los Ragas.

Cuando tenía 3 años de edad llegó a Chennai con su madre, para participar en un concurso de canto en diciembre de 1988. En el concierto de Mandolin U. Srinivas, organizado en los Mylapore de Bellas Artes, el 25 de diciembre, Mahathi, sentada a lado de su madre guardaba, allí identificó la música Ragas que fueron interpretados por los músicos en el escenario. El secretario de la Sabha, que estaba sentado al lado de su madre organizó una demostración en vivo, los talentos de los niños, poco tiempo después del elemento principal del concierto. Mahathi, sin la menor vacilación, identificó todos los Ragas y cautivó a la audiencia. Este incidente apareció en todos los periódicos más importantes de su época.

Mahathi se sometió a una formación musical inicial de sus padres. Cuando la familia de Mahathi se trasladó a Trichur, la pusieron bajo la guía de Sri. Mangad K. Natesan. Mahathi se sometió a un entrenamiento musical avanzado bajo la tutela de Sri OS Thiagarajan, Padmabhushan Chevalier Dr.M. Balamuralikrishna y Padmabhushan TN Seshagopalan.
