Pwadawgyi (Burmese: ဖွားတော်ကြီး, pronounced [pʰwá dɔ̀ dʑí]) was the chief queen consort of King Htilominlo of the Pagan Dynasty of Myanmar (Burma). Her personal name is lost to history. Pwadawgyi simply means "Royal Grandmother". She was a great granddaughter of King Sithu I.[1][2][3] She and Htilominlo had two children named Theinpatei and Taya Mun. Taya Mun died young.[3]
