Shakuntala Devi was born in Bangalore, India,[2][3] to an orthodox Kannada Brahmin family.[1][6][7] Her father rebelled against becoming a temple priest[3] and instead joined a circus where he worked as atrapeze artist, lion tamertightrope walker and magician.[1][2][5][8] Devi's father discovered her ability to memorize numbers while teaching her a card trick when she was about three years old.[1][2][5] Her father left the circus and took her on road shows that displayed her ability at number crunching.[2] She was able to do this without any formal education.[1][3] By age six she demonstrated her calculation and memorization abilities at the University of Mysore.[2][3]

In 1944 Devi moved to London with her father.[9] She returned to India in the mid-1960s and married Paritosh Bannerji, an officer of the Indian Administrative Servicefrom Kolkata.[9] She and her husband were divorced in 1979.[9] Devi returned to Bangalore in the early 1980s.[9]

Devi travelled the world demonstrating her arithmetic talents, including a tour ofEurope in 1950 and a performance in New York in 1976.[2] In 1988 she returned to the US to have her abilities studied by Arthur Jensen, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. Jensen tested her performance at several tasks, including the calculations of large numbers. Examples of the problems presented to Devi were calculating the cube root of 61,629,875, and the seventh root of 170,859,375.[3][4] Jensen reported that Devi was able to provide the solution to the aforementioned problems (the answers being 395 and 15 respectively) before Jensen was able to copy them down in his notebook.[3][4] Jensen published his findings in the academic journal Intelligence in 1990.[3][4]

In addition to her work as a mental calculator, Devi was an astrologer and an author of several books, including cookbooks and novels.[2][5][8]

In April 2013, Devi was admitted to a hospital in Bangalore, India with respiratory problems.[1] Over the following two weeks she suffered from complications of the heart and kidneys.[1][2] Devi died in hospital on April 21, 2013.[1][2] She was 83 years old.[2][3] She is survived by her daughter, Anupama Banerji.[3][8]
