Shikhi Mahiti was an Orissan, considered to be one of Mahaprabhu’s most intimate associates and one of His personal branches, who lived in Purushottam Kshetra. He was a servant of the Jagannath Deity with the title of likhanadhikari (Chaitanya Charitamrita 2.10.42). Shikhi Mahiti and his sister Madhavi Devi were previously Ragalekha and Kalakeli, two of Shrimati Radharani’s servants. (Gaura-ganoddesha-dipika 189)
