Rajoana Kalan has an official area of 562 Hectares and a population of 1,239 persons in 1991, and is in the local administration ward of Sudhar, 18 km from Mullanpur and not far from the towns of Jagraon and Moga.
Mai Bhatti was daughter of a rich landowner – zamindar or Sardar – who gave her and her husband large areas of land surrounding the present village.
History has it that when Guru Gobind Singh was engaged in the guerrilla war with the ruling Mughals in Delhi, he came to the place where Mai Bhatti lived with her three sons.
He spent the night there and the next morning Mai Bhatti together with her three sons gave a lift to Guru Gobind Singh on a Manji (a small light cot / bed).
Guru Gobind Singh was extremely pleased and impressed with this demonstration of support from Mai Bhatti, and told her to ask for any reward she may wish for.
He told Mai Bhatti to ask for something else – probably expecting a materialistic request – but keeping to her simple lifestyle, she said that once the sons were married if they could be blessed to be able to earn a living for their family.
