The starting line up for the band comprised of Vaskar on vocals, Praggya on guitars, Pravash on bass and Bishal on drums. The band got its first exposure outside the hills which happened in the year of its formation at the IIT Kharagpur, Calcutta at “Wildfire”. They kept on ‘going’ by playing at various local gigs.

In the year 2003 with eight songs Mantra released its first album titled “Mantra”. The album was distributed through Indreni Audio Cassette Center, Kathmandu. Songs like ‘Timi Bina’ ‘Ekantama’ and ‘Bir Gorkhali’ became instant hits in their hometown, Darjeeling and Sikkim. In the year 2004 Mantra immediately released their second album.
