Mai Fateh Kaur (? – 1773) was the wife of Baba Aala Singh and the daughter of Bhai Khana, chief of village Kaleke (district Sangrur). According to a source, her parents wished to have a male child. When she was born her parents put her in a big pitcher and buried her alive. A saintly person Bhai Dial Das, who was present in that area on the day, taught them that one should bow before the Will of the Almighty. At this the pitcher was dug from the earth. The child was named Fatto. Bibi Fatto was a girl of religious bent of mind. In 1707, she was married to Aala Singh, the founder of the Patiala dynasty. Fateh Kaur gave birth to three sons (Sardul Singh, Bhumia Singh and Lal Singh) and a daughter (Pardhan Kaur).
