Purva Mantri is a dynamic and skilled Indian vocalist who has been able to carve out a distinctive place for herself in the music sphere by innovatively blending Indian folk, pop, and Bollywood genres. With her powerful voice and captivating stage appearances, Purva is not only a singer but also a fully-fledged performer. Among the many special features of her concerts, the most significant is perhaps her ability to keep on singing live while drumming the Puneri Dhol, an uncommon and very difficult ability that has made her concerts truly memorable.
Her popularity was quickly established through songs like Kala Sha Kala, Raanjhan Ve, and Uljhi, but the big bang of her career came in 2024 when she got to sing the Garba song “Aavati Kalay,” written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This song, during the festival of Navratri, became an instant hit all over the country and got the singer not only to receive the Prime Minister’s praise but also the honor from the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Childhood and Musical Roots
Purva Mantri was born and nurtured in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, where music was a part of the family’s daily life. The first time she heard classical ragas and folk songs was through her mother, Nishi Mantri, who is likewise a trained classical and folk singer. While the other kids were out playing, Purva was learning music by imitating her mother’s singing and by trying out different melodies in the house.
Music was never forced upon her—it naturally became her calling.
Education and Musical Training
Purva completed her basic education in her hometown. Although there are no full academic records accessible to the public, her musical education is still very much known. Learning from Malay Banerjee, an instructor who was anointed by the famous Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, she eventually went on to have a very strong classical base. The training she obtained later permitted her to confidently practice with the modern and folk-infused styles during her career.
Family Support System
Purva is from a family not connected to the film industry in any way or manner. Her father is a businessman who did not hesitate to back her up at every step when she decided to take up music as a profession. Moreover, she has a very close relationship with her brother, Shravan Mantri, and the two have been working together in their creative endeavors. Purva attributes her family as her biggest support quite often. She is not married and hence completely devoted to her career.
Career Journey and Breakthrough
Purva started her professional journey with the performance of live stage shows, and then she slowly transitioned into independent music. Her getting-to-know-the-public process was quite short as she won the final competition of Closeup Websinger, and afterwards, she was the one who represented the Mumbai Warriors team under Kailash Kher in the Indian Pro Music League.
The singer’s independent singles, which include The Papa Song, Yaara Ve, Dilruba, Channa Ve, and Banke Patola, were really a big factor in establishing her strong position in the indie-pop scene. The fans gave her the name “Purvastic” for her performance style, which is a term that signifies her lively spirit and great control over the stage.
Her Navratri concerts in Gujarat, especially the one in Surat, were huge crowd pullers. She extended her Winter Tour in 2024–25 by going global with the Purvastic USA Tour, and to her delight, the Indian folk-pop fusion was well received by the international audiences.
Net Worth and Income
Purva Mantri’s net worth is thought to be around $1–2 million (₹8–16 crore). Her revenue sources include live performances, independent releases, partnerships with brands, and tours in different countries.
