was the main temple dedicated to the Sun during the Inca era. At 8:00 am, the Sinchi (General of the Inca Army) would appear, followed by the Imperial Army, then the Accllas (chosen women). After that, the t’ika t’aqaqkunas (women who throw flowers on the ground for the Inca’s passage) and the pichaqkun
as (men who clean the ground) follow, all to the sound of pututos, quenas, tinyas. Then the Inca and his wife (Qoya) appear, followed by their royal entourage and the nobility, accompanied by the high priest (willaq Umu). In a ceremony, the Inca makes an offering to the god, then they head towards the Plaza de Armas of Cusco.
