In Inca religion, the sun god, believed to be the ancestor of the Incas. Inti was the head of the cult and his worship was imposed throughout the empire. He was represented in human form with his face being a gold disk from which rays and flames extended. The temple of the Sun was called Inti-huasi (house of the sun) with 7 principal divisions: inti or sanctuary (center of temple), mama-quilla (moon), cayllur (stars), illapa (thunder), ckuichi (rainbow), huilacuma (chief priest), and the dwelling of the priests. Inti's sister and consort was the moon, Mama-Kilya (or Mama-Quilla), who was portrayed as a silver disk with human features.
