Mata Nanki was the daughter of Hari Chand and Hardei, a Khatri couple of the village of Bakala in present-day Amritsar district. She was born in Amritsar and married to Guru Hargobind in April 1613. After her son was bestowed the guruship, the family moved to the Shivalik foothills where a locality was founded by her son, named Chakk Nanaki after his mother (now known as Anandpur). She accompanied her son through his journey through the Malwa region and what is now Uttar Pradesh to visit old congregations of Sikhs.
