Biography
She was the daughter of Ram Sarana, a Punjabi Soni Kumarāv Khatri of Bijwara Soni - in present-day Hoshiārpur district.[3]
After the martyrdom of her child, Ajit Singh, she adopted a son named Ajit Singh Palit who was later executed on a accusation that he had killed a Muslim dervish.[4][5]
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.
Mata Sundri College for Women located in Central Delhi is named after her.[6]

AJIT SINGH PALIT (d. 1725), adopted son of Mata Sundari, the mother of Sahibzada Ajit Singh. Little is known about the family he came of except that Mata Sundari took him over from a goldsmith of Delhi and adopted him because of his striking resemblance with her son, Ajit Singh, who had met a martyr's death at Chamkaur.
