History
The birth place of Mata is in a locality inside the main gate. The
domed Janam Asthan is visible behind the houses from a distance of
about 100 steps from the entrance to the locality. It always remains
locked. It was repaired during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The
old building was demolished and a domed structure was built but that
too is now withering away. In more recent times the building was
renovated and repaired.
Mata Sahib Kaur Ji, whose name before taking Amrit was Mata Sahib
Devan Ji, was born on the 1st November 1681 in Rohtas Village settled
within Rohtas Fort, District Jehlum, in West Panjab, (now in Pakistan).
Mata Sahib Kaur's name was Mata Jasdevi and father's name was Bhai
Ramu Bassi. Her father, who was an ardent sewak (Sikh) of Sri Guru
Gobind Singh Ji, influenced Mata Sahib Kaur to the extent that she
wanted to devote her whole life in the service of the Guru Sahib.
