From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maharani Datar Kaur (d. 1838) was the second wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and daughter of Ran Singh Nakai. Originally named Raj Kaur, she changed her name to Datar Kaur as Ranjit Singh’s mother was also named Raj Kaur. She was married to the Maharaja in 1798 who lovingly addressed her as Mal Nakain. In 1801, she gave birth to Kharak Singh, the eldest son and heir apparent of Ranjit Singh. She took active interest in the affairs of the State and accompanied her son when he was sent out on an expedition to Multan (30°11'N 71°29'E) in 1818. She died on 20 June 1838.
