Ayadhi (wife of Bankucha)

Ayadhi (c. 642-571 BC), was a queen consort of King Bankucha of Tiya.

She was a niece of Queen Vrosuham, Bankucha’s first wife. She became the chief queen about 2 or 3 years after Vrosuham’s death. She probably mothered King Tydhiwe. She passed away in 571 BC, the 17th years of Tydhiwe’s reign, at the age about 70. During Tydhiwe’s tenure, she still enjoyed power, and handled some diplomatic affairs to Pindhiya, together with Tydhiwe’s wife, Queen Mokyan. She was entombed in the 14th pagoda in Inner Nyuwra Golden Pagodas Group.
