[4] Bibi Bhani was born to Guru Amar Das and Mata Mansa Devi on 19 January 1535 in Basarke Gillan, a village near Amritsar.

[2] Bhai Jetha later moved to Goindval, a Sikh town, and carried out voluntary service (sewa) in the construction of Baoli Sahib (sacred well).

As the completion of the Gurdwara at Goindval neared, Guru Amar Das charged Bhai Jetha with the task of establishing a new Sikh center at a location that first was known as Ramdasar.

[9] According to one version of accounts, the jagir land that was gifted to her under her own name was used for the building of Ramdaspur (future Amritsar), where the Golden Temple was built.

[1][9][10] She was one of the head leaders of the missionary Piri system that had been established by her father to disseminate Sikhism to women, having been chosen due to her intellectual inclinations.

Bequeathing lands and villages to a female heir would have been inconceivable in even the later social and cultural milieu of ensuing chroniclers.
