Inti is our Sungod, our Father, the One that makes live on this planet possible.
He is often portrayed as a golden disc with a human face, after the larger example that is to be found in the Coricancha.
Inti is a son of our Creator-God Viracocha, and his wife the Goddess of the Moon, Mama Quilla.
Inti is the father of our legendary ancestors Inca Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo.
He taught them the arts of civilization and sent them to Earth to instruct mankind in what they had learned.
Sapa Inca is considered to be the representative of Inti on Earth.
