As related in Hindu epics, a Maharathi is a warrior having mastery of all forms of weapons and combat skills.[1] Maharathas are masters of all Vyuhas or battle formations and excellent strategists.[2]

Levels of Warrior Excellence

There is a reference of several levels of excellence in the Mahabharata, Ramayana which is a part of India's Sanskrit itihasas. However what determines these is by and large left unknown. This has led to speculation.
