Ram Saran, a Kumarav Khatri of Bijvara, in present-day Hoshiarpur, district of the
Punjab. She is alleged to be the same person as
Mata Jito, As a child, Sundri was extremely beautiful, so her parents gave her this name according to her looks. Since her father knew Guru Tegh Bahadur, it was then decided that she would marry to Guru Gobind Singh at
Anandpur(Punjab)on 4 April 1684 (allegedly). On 26 January 1687, at Paonta, she gave birth to
Ajit Singh, the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh. But due to the battles between Guru Gobind Singh and the Mughal Emperor
Aurangzeb, Mata Sundri's son died. Guru Gobind Singh Ji went to Deccan from Talwandi Sabo (a place in Bathida District of Punjab State), Mata Sundri came to Delhi and stayed at the Haveli (house) of Bhai
Jawahar Singh for some time.
