Viracocha is the great creator deity in the pre-Inca and Inca mythology of the Andean region, often depicted as a bearded god associated with the creation of the universe, humanity, and civilization. Revered as a god of all things, Viracocha was believed to have emerged from Lake Titicaca and was integral to the religious and cultural framework of the Andean peoples, influencing their cosmology and societal structures.
