Mātā Sundarī (Punjabi: ਮਾਤਾ ਸੁੰਦਰੀ) was the daughter of Ram Sarana, a Punjabi Soni Khatri of Bijwara Soni - in present-day Hoshiārpur district. She was the wife of Guru Gobind Singh.[2] The couple married at Anandpur on 4 April 1684 and had one son, Ajit Singh, born in Pāoṇṭā on 26 January 1687.[1] After the death of her children, she adopted a son also named Ajit Singh who was later killed on a false accusation that he had killed a Muslim dervish.[3]
She holds a special place in Sikhism for the role she played in leading Sikhs after the ascension of Guru Gobind Singh. A memorial in her honour stands in the compound of Gurdwara Bala Sahib, New Delhi.
