She was born inAmritsar and married to Guru Hargobind in April 1613.[2] After her son was bestowed the guruship, the family moved to theShivalik foothills where a locality was founded by her son, namedChakk Nanaki after his mother (now known as Anandpur). She accompanied her son through his journey through theMalwa region and what is nowUttar Pradesh to visit old congregations of Sikhs.
