Maharani Mehtab Kaur Sukerchakia (c. 1782 – 1813)[3][4][5] was the first wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh,[5][6] the founder of the Sikh Empire. She was the mother of Ranjit's son Maharaja Sher Singh,[7][8] who briefly became the ruler of the Sikh Empire from 1841 until his death in 1843.[9]
Mehtab Kaur was the only daughter of Sada Kaur and Gurbaksh Singh Kanhaiya. Her father was the first commander or sardar of Khalsa army to protect Punjab. She was betrothed to a six-year-old Ranjit Singh at the age of four.
Mehtab Kaur was the senior-most wife and childhood love of[10] Ranjit Singh, according to historian Jean-Marie Lafont, the only one to bear the title of Maharani (Great Queen). She was very beautiful, intelligent and most beloved wife of the Maharaja.[11][12] She gave birth to Sher Singh, the fourth Maharaja of the greater Khalsa empire.[13][14]
