Inti Raymi &Festival of the Sun








Overview
The biggest festival of the Inca Empire is repeated every year on June 24. For a culture that based its religion on sun worship, this festival is an essential ceremony. It coincides with the winter solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year; to ask the sun to return, the Cusco people celebrate with music, dance and representations of the Inca and his royal entourage in a display of impressive dimensions.
Highlights
With an offering to Pachamama, Mother Earth, the ancestral Inca ceremony to the Sun God or Inti Raymi, was staged this Friday in Cusco, ancient capital of the Inca empire.
Hundreds of actors dressed in multicolored costumes received the Inca in the huge esplanade of Sacsayhuaman, Quechua name that in Spanish means “satisfied falcon”.
In Andean red, with a bat and chinchilla cape and wearing a golden crown, the Inca emperor arrived at the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, on the outskirts of the city.
The ritual consisted of an offering to the earth in which corn, coca leaves, chicha and potatoes were used to ask the solar deity for a good harvest.
