Mātā Jīto (Gurmukhi: ਮਾਤਾ ਜੀਤੋ, Shahmukhi: ماتا جیتو ) was the first of the three wives of the last Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh[2][3][4] The couple married on 21 June 1677 and had three children: Jujhar Singh, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh.[1][5]

Family

According to some scholars, she was renamed as Mata Sundari after marriage and all four sons were born to Mata Sundari.

The Sikh scholars and historians Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Bhai Santokh Singh, Giani Gian Singh and Kesar Singh Chibber believe that Mata Sundari was the Guru's second wife and do not support the renaming proposition, arguing that the place where the last rites of Mata Jito were performed is present in Anandpur Sahib and the place where Mata Sundari was cremated is present in Delhi.
