Keerthi I think your code is right.

ContentPlaceHolder con = Page.Master.FindControl("MainContainer") as ContentPlaceHolder;
object t = con.FindControl("mahi");
string id = Convert.ToString(t);
string[] words = id.Split(',');

First check object types .

ontentPlaceHolder con = Page.Master.FindControl("MainContainer") as ContentPlaceHolder;
object t = con.FindControl("mahi");

if(t.GetType().Equals(typeof(string)))
{
string id =Convert.ToString(t);
}
