Thiri Pawara Atula Tilawka Maha Yazeinda Adhipati Yadana Dewi (Pali: Sīripavara Atulatiloka Mahārājindādhipati Ratanādevī; Burmese: သီရိပဝရ အတုလတိလောက မဟာရာဇိန္ဒာဓိပတိ ရတနာဒေဝီ; born Supaya; 22 December 1813 – 12 November 1876), commonly known as Setkya Dewi or Sekkya Dewi (Burmese: စကြာဒေဝီ; Pali: Cakrādevī), was Queen of the Konbaung Kingdom of Burma from 26 March 1853 to 12 November 1876 as the chief queen of Mindon Min. Born to Tharrawaddy Min and his wife, she held the position of the Tabindaing Princess (chief queen designate) during her father's reign. Being renowned for her knowledge of modern science and astrology, Setkya Dewi 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.
