The "Mantra band," which has its roots in Darjeeling but is well-known throughout Nepal for its rock music, was founded in 1999 and has gained a particular place in many people's hearts thanks to its legendary songs in the slow rock and rock genres. The band has kept their music flexible while including themes about love, culture, and the nation in their songs. The band assigned the name Mantra, because the members wanted to do something different from the usual, practice of giving bands English names and because they believed it would bring them luck because the word "Mantra" has a religious meaning.
