J. Mythri, daughter of atheist leader and social reformer Gora, died on Saturday afternoon. She was 86.

A Gandhian and social worker, Ms. Mythri worked all her life for women empowerment. She was the chairperson of the Atheist Centre, Vijayawada, and contributed a great deal in propagating atheism as a way of life. She was affectionately called Mythri ‘amma’ by family members, relatives and outsiders who would not miss to call on the lady with a radiant smile that always greeted visitors with warmth.

Born on December 1, 1932 in Vizianagaram, she was the third daughter of Gora and Saraswathi Gora. The family members donated her body to the Pinnamaneni Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada.
