In 2006, Rahul Das formed Karmageddon, an early incarnation of Purvaja with similar lyrical and musical style. The band performed a few shows until 2009 and eventually disbanded. Rahul tried to revive the band again with new members but failed. With lack of resources and unable to find like-minded members who were interested in creating vedic style/influenced music, Rahul Das decided to start Purvaja as the sole member. Using whatever resources available (sampled drums, voice recording, electric guitars etc), Purvaja released its first track entitled 'She, who devoured Raktabija' online; which subsequently gained recognition in the Indian underground black metal scene. The success and positive response of 'She, who devoured Raktabija' spurred Rahual Das to write and create more song under the Purvaja moniker. After almost a year, Purvaja finally released its first EP entitled 'DARK GODDESS DIVINE'.
