Baba Sri Chand Ji was born in 1494 to Mata Sulakhani Ji and Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji at Sultanpur Lodhi. Guru Nanak's sister Bibi Nanaki adopted Sri Chand Ji as her own son.

When Guru Nanak Sahib Ji left for his preaching tours (known as Udasis), Baba Sri Chand Ji with his younger brother Baba Lakhmi Das Ji and Mother Sulakhni Ji came to Pakho-ke-Randhawe, where the parents of Mata Sulakhni Ji used to reside.

When Guru Nanak Sahib Ji settled at Kartarpur (now in Pakistan), during the later part of his life, the entire family moved there. After Guru Nanak rejoined with god, Baba Sri Chand Ji went to the place where Gurdwara Dera Baba Nanak is situated. But Baba Ji loved solitude.

Guru Nanak's mother, Mata Tripta belonged to village Barth. So Baba Sri Chand Ji moved to Barth and established a hermitage. At that time a dense forest existed at this place. Baba Ji on seeing this secluded place started meditating and lived at this place for a considerable period of time.
