Dokka Seethamma (or Sithamma; 1841–1909) was an Indian social activist who gained recognition by spending much of her life serving food for poor people and travellers.[1]

Seethamma was born in October 1841 in Mandapeta, in Andhra Pradesh,[2] and lost her mother during her childhood.[3]

Dokka Joganna, a Vedic Scholar and farmer, married her, and this allowed her to offer food to the poor, which she did for more than 40 years.[4]

Seethamma was honored as a Hindu saint and called Apara Annapurna, a reincarnation of the goddess Annapurna.[5] An aqueduct over the Vynateya river was named for her in 2000 and is marked with a bust depicting her.[2][4][6]
