The Inca religion was a polytheistic belief system centered around the worship of multiple gods, with the most important being Inti, the sun god. The Incas believed that their rulers were descendants of Inti, which reinforced the divine right to govern. They performed various rituals, including sacrifices, to appease their gods and ensure prosperity. The Incas also revered nature, viewing mountains, rivers, and other natural elements as sacred. They practiced ancestor worship, honoring their deceased leaders and family members. Temples, such as the Coricancha in Cusco, served as important religious sites where ceremonies and offerings took place.
