Inti
Inti is the principal Inca solar deity — a politicized and multilayered sun-power central to Inca state religion, agriculture, and dynastic legitimation. Treated as both the divine Sun and an ancestral source for the ruling lineage, Inti was worshipped in temples (notably Qurikancha), honored in seasonal rites such as the Inti Raymi, and served by an institutional priesthood.
Mama Killa (Mama Quilla)
Mama Killa (Quechua: Mama Killa / Mama Quilla, 'Mother Moon') is the Inca lunar goddess and a high-ranking divine figure whose cycles regulated time, ritual order, and aspects of women's social life. She is depicted as a moon-personified woman, served by priestesses, and figured in myths explaining lunar spots and eclipses.
Viracocha
Viracocha (Quechua Wiraqucha, Huiracocha) is the principal creator and civilizing deity in pre-Inca and Inca mythology, portrayed as the originator of the universe, time, and human society who emerges from watery places to bring light, order, and knowledge.
