Setkya Dewi (Burmese: စကြာဒေဝီ; Sanskrit: Cakrádévī; 22 December 1813 – 12 November 1876), commonly known by her regnal title Thiri Pavara Mahayazeinda Yadana Dewi (Burmese: သီရိပဝရ မဟာရာဇိန္ဒာ ရတနာဒေဝီ; Pali: Siripavaramahārajindaratanadevī), was the empress consort and chief wife of King Mindon Min during the Konbaung dynasty.[1] She had strong influence with her husband and was renowned for her knowledge of modern science and astrology.[2] She was popular with the British, who described her as a well-educated woman (a "bluestocking"), and visitors would often bring her gifts related to her astrological interests.[3] She was also known for her extraordinary kindness.[4]
