Setkya Dewi (Burmese: စကြာဒေဝီ; Sanskrit: Cakrádévī), commonly known by her regnal title Thiri Pavara Mahayazeinda Yadana Dewi (Burmese: သီရိပဝရ မဟာရာဇိန္ဒာ ရတနာဒေဝီ; Pali: Siripavaramahārajindaratanadevī), was the chief queen of King Mindon Min during the Konbaung dynasty.
She was a wise Princess and was learned especially in history and astrology, and was the constant adviser of her husband. She died in 1876 and was buried in the Mandalay Palace stockade.[1] Her tomb was the third erected within the sacred precincts of the Palace, the first being that of Khin The (the Queen of the Northern Palace), the favourite wife of King Mindon.[1]
