Madhavi and Vaishnavi embraced Carnatic music and dance from a young age, showcasing a dedicated commitment. They earned the 'Pratibha Kangshi' award for their performance in Sri Ramaseva Mandali and for securing victories in several state and national competitions. They have graced renowned stages like the India International Centre.

Madhavi and Vaishnavi Sitaraman, popularly known as the Delhi sisters, have been practicing Carnatic music and have performed across the country.

Their journey began when their talented mother, who is a great dancer herself, encouraged them to explore different art forms. They started learning Bharatanatyam, a traditional dance, from their mother, when they were little girls. Later, they joined the GAC Foundation in Delhi and had the chance to perform at significant venues like the India International Centre.

Looking back at their childhood, the sisters admit that they weren't initially much interested in music and dance. However, with their mother's support, they gradually developed a profound passion for the craft. Attending concerts with their mother further sparked their interest. Their guru, the person guiding them in their artistic journey, affectionately called them the "Delhi sisters," which has become their known identity.

When asked about their role models, Madhavi  and Vaishnavi say that their mother is their inspiration and their first guru, who has always been with them and encouraged them to learn more. Their maternal grandmothers, who were artists performing worldwide, also left a lasting impact. They enjoyed listening to Carnatic music, and the exposure to senior Carnatic musicians further fueled their motivation.

The Delhi sisters say that they like all kinds of genres of dance, be they western, classical, or semiclassical, and have respect for all art forms. They have won several competitions at the state and national levels.

The Delhi sisters share that since childhood, their mother used to take them to ‘Akhandam’, where they used to sing one small ‘kriti’ related to God, for which they used to get certificates. That is how they learned to sing on stage in front of an audience, and since 2017, they have been performing regularly.

Recently, they performed in the Sri Ramaseva Mandali on the occasion of Ramnavmi and were conferred with the ‘Pratibha Kangshi’ award. For them, the joy of their performances and their devotion to their art and deities outweigh any titles or awards.

Talking about their challenges, the sisters acknowledge that every artist faces struggles on the path to becoming the best. They believe that dedication and focus can overcome any obstacle.

To all the budding artists, the Delhi sisters advise them to start at the grassroots level and practice as much as possible because this is the only way to improve themselves. There is no age bar to learning any art. Do not expect any immediate reward, and just keep putting in your efforts.

To the young generation, the Delhi sisters advise them to choose what they really want to do and devote themselves to learning it.
