Inti

The magnificent Sun God and the divine ancestor of the Inca Sapa, he is the golden heart of the empire whose light ensures the growth of the maize and the warmth of the soul. He is the most powerful of the visible gods, a benevolent father who demands absolute loyalty and the finest gold as a reflection of his own brilliance. His presence is the measure of time and the engine of the sacred calendars, the deity who turns the stones of Cusco into living monuments of light. He is the undisputed king of the sky, the warmth that makes the high altitudes habitable.
