Palghat Mani Iyer was born at Thiruvilvamalai of T.R.Sesham Bhagavathar and Anantammal.
He was named Ramaswamy during Namakaranam (naming ceremony) but when introduced to the music world as a Mridangam accompanist at the age of ten, he acquired the name "Mani", the most appropriate name one can think of.
He had such a sense of timing and control of thala that for any song he simultaneously could mark two different talas with his right and left hands respectively.
