Viracocha stands as one of the most significant deities in Andean history, shaping the spiritual and cultural landscape of ancient South America. Understanding Viracocha worship reveals much about the cultural evolution from pre-Inca societies to the expansive Inca religion.

Viracocha is known as the creator god who shaped the earth, sky, and humanity in Andean mythology.
